To create new python distributable package, create new folder contaning:
__init__.py- this file defines this folder as a python package foldersetup.py- this file contains distributable package configurationreadme- standard readme file, which may have one of the following extensions:READMEREADME.rstREADME.txtREADME.md
Simplest setup.py file can contain following:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name='package name',
version='package version',
description='package description',
author='author name',
author_email='email of the author',
packages=find_packages(),
install_requires=[
# list of required dependencies
],
)
To create distributable, run:
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
This will create two distributable files in dist folder. These files could be installed with pip and used in other projects
as dependencies:
pip install <created-package-file-path>
Or it can be uploaded to the pypi repository:
twine upload <package-path>
