Golden path - Python service template

[pontusringblom]

Parallel to the Node.js template, we need a Python scaffold. Target use case: Python FastAPI microservices (most common Python pattern in our client portfolio).

Generates:

• app/ with FastAPI skeleton (health endpoint, router structure)
• Dockerfile (multi-stage, slim base)
• pyproject.toml + requirements.txt
• .github/workflows/ci.yml (ruff lint, pytest, build, push)
• catalog-info.yaml
• docs/ with MkDocs
• helm/ with Helm chart

Template inputs: same as Node.js template for consistency

Assigning to myself.

For the FastAPI skeleton - include an example of dependency injection for the DB session and a basic Pydantic model. Teams often copy the skeleton directly and having a good pattern from day one saves code review cycles later.

The pyproject.toml should configure ruff as the linter (replaces flake8+isort+black in one tool). Also pin the Python version with a .python-version file for pyenv compatibility.

Include pytest-asyncio in dev dependencies. FastAPI is async and sync test patterns cause headaches when you start testing endpoints. Better to start async.
