- python 3 - currently working with 3.7

## Usage
- directly use the script

or
- install the package and call a function
### Run the script - Old / Simple version
- Place the script ProjectSkeleton.py in the main project folder - which may be empty
- Run the script in cmd
  - The script will prompt a name for the new sub_project
  - Enter the project name and hit Enter
  - You may also enter a path to another folder is you want to create the file in another folder

### using pip

  - ccp(name, path)

  or
- installing the package also adds an entrypoint
  - cmake-python-project
  - that has the same effect as running the script

## Structure
- If not already present, a CMakeLists.txt file will be created and filled.
