Create project layouts from Jinja2 templates. Version 0.1.6.post2, infrequently updated (last release years ago).

pip install make

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'make' ↓

cause The package is not installed or the import shadows the standard 'make' command.

fix

Install with 'pip install make' and verify you are running Python in a virtual environment.

error AttributeError: module 'make' has no attribute 'create_project' ↓

cause Older version or typo; the package exposes create_project at top level.

fix

Check installed version: pip show make. Upgrade if needed: pip install --upgrade make.

gotcha The package name 'make' conflicts with the GNU Make utility. Ensure your environment does not shadow the Python package. ↓

fix Use pip install make and import make explicitly.

deprecated The library has not been updated since 2016 and may not work with modern Python or Jinja2 versions. ↓

fix Consider alternatives like cookiecutter or copier.

gotcha Templates are loaded from the package's internal directory; custom templates must be placed correctly. ↓

fix Place custom templates in ~/.make/templates/ or use the template='path' parameter.

Create a project layout using the default template.

from make import create_project

create_project(
    'my_project',
    template='default',
    output_dir='.',
)
