Provide ability to create new ArcGIS Pro projects from Python

[MaryGraceMcClellan]

I'm creating a script that will convert all of my MXDs to APRXs, and I find it extremely inconvenient that I can't create a new blank project from scratch form within ArcGIS Pro. This utility would make switching to ArcGIS Pro so much easier, along with the ability to create blank toolboxes. 

Edited to add: @Rhys-Donoghue posted a good workaround for this issue if anyone is interested.

This is planned for the upcoming 3.7 release.  The function is ...

arcpy.mp.CreateArcGISProject(project_path, project_name, {create_parent_folder}, {home_folder}, {default_database}, {default_toolbox})

So exciting! Are we getting a context manager to go along with it?

This is wonderful news!

I can't wait to see the crowd's reaction when someone reads this in the "what's new with Python" portion of the opening plenary session at the Dev & Tech Summit next year. Impactful new ArcPy features always get the best reactions!
