Come to the Dark Side! We have a whole bunch of Cookiecutters!
summary
A CLI scaffolder that claims to turn repetitive project setup into templates and actually ships: Jinja2-based templates, Git and Mercurial support, Python 2.7/3.x compatibility, and ported test suite to pytest. Templates can include post-gen hooks, copy-without-render, and templated context values; the demo generates a Kivy app and runs it, proving the workflow works. Community counts about 41 templates now, with features like choice prompts, user-level defaults and GitHub-based abbreviations.
