Create Python App

One command. Any Python stack.

Composition-first scaffolding for Python, inspired by and built alongside Create Node App.

What is this?

Create Python App brings the composition-first scaffolding philosophy of create-awesome-node-app to the Python ecosystem.

Pick a template. Layer extensions. Ship production-ready Python projects in seconds without spending hours on boilerplate configuration.

uvx create-awesome-python-app@latest my-api

Or pin a template for CI:

uvx create-awesome-python-app@latest my-api \
  --template fastapi-starter \
  --addons fastapi-docker github-setup \
  --no-interactive

→ create-awesome-python-app.vercel.app
