scikit-package offers tools and practices for the scientific community to make better and more reusable Scientific Python packages and applications:

• We help scientists share scientific code to amplify research impact.
• We help scientists save time, allowing them to focus on writing scientific code.
• We offer best practices from the group's experience in developing scientific software.

Overview

Here is an overview of the 5 levels of sharing code and the key features of scikit-package:

Demo

Here is how you can use the package create public command to create a new Level 5 Python package called diffpy.my-project in just 1–2 minutes:
