AFAIK, the recommendations in the README are a plausible beginning. 
Some of them obviously depend on programming philosophy and tyle. 
Depending on your background (other languages), you might prefer 
unittest to pytest.  You might prefer another code checker to pycodestyle.

I think the most important 'good practice' is rigorous testing, with  at 
least the basics repeated with every commit.

   I am aware of pep8 but does that have project structure examples also?

If you intend to use github, I would look at a few other packages on github.
