Description

@zackw

The “A package is more than just code” section of https://www.pyopensci.org/python-package-guide/tutorials/intro.html could make it sound like you need all this stuff before you can create a package. Docs! Tests! CI! Licensing! Issue tracking! Oy gevalt.

Should clarify which pieces are absolutely essential from the get-go (version control, at least one .py file, and a license), which become important almost immediately for any nontrivial program (docs), which become important as your program gets larger (tests), and which become important as your program gains more users and hopefully also more developers (bug tracker, CI).
