carcass is a Python command line tool to generate python package scaffolding based on best practices

## Getting Started

To use `carcass` you can run it directly.  Since `carcass` is mainly considered a command line tool, once installed, you run it directly:

```bash
# Default generated package path is the current users directory `~/`
carcass

# Provide an alternate path location 
carcass -P ~/my_packages/path
carcass --path ~/my_packages/path
```

Once you run carcass you will be prompted to provide answers to the following questions:

```bash
Enter your package name: mytestpackage
Enter your first and last name: Josh Rickard
Enter your GitHub user name: MSAdministrator
Enter your email address: josh.rickard@letsautomate.it
```

Additionally, you have additional package options that you can select all, some, or none of them using your `space` key.

Currently, `carcass` supports the following additional package options.  I will continue to add additional options as needed/wanted:

```
Please select all package options which you want carcass to generate

 * Logger
   Exceptions
   Microsoft Graph OAuth2

```

### Break down into end to end tests

Tests within this package test to ensure that the correct files are being created as requested as well as some tests check the contents of the template files:


```
# testing the creation of a README.md template

def test_creation_of_readme_template_exists(carcass_fixture):
    '''
    Testing the creation of README.md template file
    '''
    carcass = carcass_fixture.create_package(pytest.configuration['package_path'], pytest.package)
    assert os.path.exists(os.path.join(str(pytest.configuration['package_path']), 'README.md'))
```
