Hi, I am new to using this python wrapper and can't seem to figure out to create a project and have it use a custom template.  I know the API supports using '--use-custom-template' but cant seem to figure out the correct call using this wrapper.  If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

I faced the same problem. The Gitlab API description says there is the option --use_custom_template as well as --group-with-project-templates-id and --template-project-id so I tried my luck with
\n
project = gitlab.projects.create({'name': 'name', 'namespace_id': subgroup.id, 'use_custom_template': True, 'group_with_project_templates_id': 42540,'template_project_id': 30982})\n
\n
and this worked fine.
