There are different flags for setupPyGen. These flags take True or nothing.

• -g or –git

–gitignore

The –gitignore flag generates a .gitignore file in the project structure after everything else. It gives best results when used with the -g or –git flag.

-t or –tests

The -t or –tests flag is used to generate a tests directory in the project structure for unit tests.

Note:

setupPyGen, is a command-line utility seperate from the rest of the package.

It cannot be run using $ python -m setupPyGen. It gives an error. It can only be run using $ setupPyGen.

It’s help utility can be accessed by using the command $ setupPyGen -h or $setupPyGen –help.

If you want to enable a flag just use “-flag True”, for e.g., - $ setupPyGen -t True. All flags are disabled by default.

Do not disable flags manually, such as $ setupPyGen -t False, this still generates a tests/ directory.
