Cookiecutter

Cookiecutter is a good tool to setup a scaffold for a data science project. cookiecutter-data-science is a very good template to use.

If some specific (internal) packages are needed for almost every package, fork cookiecutter-data-science and make some changes for future use. For example, one might use [[mkdocs]] Documentation Documenting my data science project using sphinx or mkdocs-material instead of [[sphinx]] Documentation Documenting my data science project using sphinx or mkdocs-material . Swap out sphinx for mkdocs if needed.
