Most editors that I've seen have the ability to stick in a template, and there are a zillion others. But *just for you*, here's a perl script that'll generate a template for you:

#!/usr/bin/perl
my $new_file_name = shift;
open my $OFH, '>', $new_file_name;
print $OFH <<EOHDR;
#!/usr/bin/env python
# join_proteins.py --- 
# 
# Filename: $new_file_name
