Structura

Automated Folder Structure & Dependency Management for Python Projects

---

Overview

Structura is a powerful project scaffolding tool designed to automate the creation of consistent and standardized folder structures for Python projects. It supports multiple frameworks and architectures, making it easy to initialize production-ready projects with just a few commands.

Whether you're building a Flask or FastAPI project, Structura handles:

• Folder structuring
• Dependency installation
• Environment setup
• Custom configurations via YAML

---

Features

• Multiple Architectures: MVC, MVCS, Hexagonal, and more
• Auto-Generates Folders & Boilerplate Files
• Dependency Management: Supports venv, pipenv, and poetry
• YAML Configuration for flexible project initialization
• Extensible: Easily customize folder structures and dependencies
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS

---

Installation

You can install Structura using pip:

pip install structura-py

---

Usage

Initialize a New Project

Create a new Python project with the desired architecture:

structura init myproject --framework flask

For FastAPI:

structura init myproject --framework fastapi

Generate Project Files

If you already have a project, you can simply generate the structure:

structura init

---

Folder Structure Example

When you run structura-py init, it generates the following folder structure based on the chosen architecture (e.g., MVC):

/myproject
├── app
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── models
│   │   └── user.py
│   ├── services
│   │   └── user_service.py
│   ├── controllers
│   │   └── user_controller.py
│   ├── routes
│   │   └── user_routes.py
├── config
│   ├── settings.py
│   └── config.yaml
├── tests
│   ├── test_user.py
├── requirements.txt
├── .env
├── README.md
└── main.py

Architecture Variations:

• MVC: models, services, controllers, routes
• MVCS: Adds services layer for business logic separation
• Hexagonal: Adds adapters and ports folders for dependency inversion
