Description
We need to create a Python package for this repository and publish it to PyPi to make it easier for developers to install and use it in their Python projects. Packaging the repository will also enhance the distribution, versioning, and accessibility of the code.
Why We Need This
- Easy Installation: Publishing the repository as a PyPi package allows users to install it via
pip
without needing to clone the repository or manage dependencies manually. - Version Control: PyPi enables versioning, allowing developers to install specific versions of the package.
- Distribution: It makes it easier for other developers to discover and use the package in their own projects.
Steps to Proceed
Here are the steps to package and publish the repository to PyPi:
-
Create
setup.py
: This file should include details like package name, version, description, dependencies, and more. Refer to this guide onsetup.py
for instructions. -
Generate the Distribution Package:
- Ensure all required files like
LICENSE
andREADME.md
are included. - Run the following commands to create the source distribution and wheel distribution:
Detailed instructions can be found here.
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
- Ensure all required files like
-
Test the Package on TestPyPi:
- Before publishing to the main PyPi, upload the package to TestPyPi to ensure everything works as expected:
You can find more information about TestPyPi here.
python -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*
- Before publishing to the main PyPi, upload the package to TestPyPi to ensure everything works as expected:
-
Publish to PyPi:
- Once the package is verified on TestPyPi, upload it to the official PyPi repository:
Additional instructions on uploading to PyPi are available here.
python -m twine upload dist/*
- Once the package is verified on TestPyPi, upload it to the official PyPi repository:
-
Add Badges: After publishing, update the repository's README with a PyPi badge to show the package status and ease future version management.
