New Python Package for VS Code

A powerful extension that adds a "New Python Package..." option to the Explorer context menu. Create Python packages with customizable __init__.py files, automatic additional files, snippet support, and conditional content based on your project structure.

Features

• Context Menu Integration - "New Python Package..." appears right after "New Folder..."
• Variable Interpolation - Use ${name}, ${name:pascal}, and more in your content
• Conditional Content - Different __init__.py content based on location or package name
• Additional Files - Auto-generate extra files (models, views, tests, etc.)
• Snippet Support - Insert VS Code snippets with full tabstop support
• Template Files - Use external template files for complex boilerplate
• Parent Packages - Automatically create __init__.py in parent folders

Usage

1. Right-click on any folder in the Explorer
2. Select "New Python Package..."
3. Name your package
4. Done! Your package is created with all configured files

  "new-python-package.initFileContent": "\"\"\"${name:pascal} package.\"\"\"",
