Standardize Python project configuration

Standardize Python project configuration#

This part of the documentation describes how to standardize Python project configuration in Plone. It does not cover the following.

  • Volto or any other JavaScript-based project, which has its own ecosystem.

  • Monorepo projects with backend and frontend code bases, such as those created by Cookieplone. Repositories must have a single Python package at the top level.

  • Projects that support multiple versions of Plone in the same branch.

Plone consists of hundreds of projects. To lessen the effort of configuring a new project in the Plone GitHub organization, and to keep these projects current with latest configuration practices, the Plone community agreed upon a trusted set of configuration items. The Plone community manages these configuration items using the plone.meta project.

You can follow these practices in your own projects, or suggest new or alternative configuration items through the plone.meta repository, sharing them with the rest of the Plone community.
