# Python Packaging
|
||||
|
||||
Comprehensive guide to creating, structuring, and distributing Python packages using modern packaging tools, pyproject.toml, and publishing to PyPI.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use This Skill
|
||||
|
||||
- Creating Python libraries for distribution
|
||||
- Building command-line tools with entry points
|
||||
- Publishing packages to PyPI or private repositories
|
||||
- Setting up Python project structure
|
||||
- Creating installable packages with dependencies
|
||||
- Building wheels and source distributions
|
||||
- Versioning and releasing Python packages
|
||||
- Creating namespace packages
|
||||
- Implementing package metadata and classifiers
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Package Structure
|
||||
|
||||
- **Source layout**: `src/package_name/` (recommended)
|
||||
- **Flat layout**: `package_name/` (simpler but less flexible)
|
||||
- **Package metadata**: pyproject.toml, setup.py, or setup.cfg
|
||||
- **Distribution formats**: wheel (.whl) and source distribution (.tar.gz)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Modern Packaging Standards
|
||||
|
||||
- **PEP 517/518**: Build system requirements
|
||||
- **PEP 621**: Metadata in pyproject.toml
|
||||
- **PEP 660**: Editable installs
|
||||
- **pyproject.toml**: Single source of configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Build Backends
|
||||
|
||||
- **setuptools**: Traditional, widely used
|
||||
- **hatchling**: Modern, opinionated
|
||||
- **flit**: Lightweight, for pure Python
|
||||
- **poetry**: Dependency management + packaging
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Distribution
|
||||
|
||||
- **PyPI**: Python Package Index (public)
|
||||
- **TestPyPI**: Testing before production
|
||||
- **Private repositories**: JFrog, AWS CodeArtifact, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### Minimal Package Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
my-package/
|
||||
├── pyproject.toml
|
||||
├── README.md
|
||||
├── LICENSE
|
||||
├── src/
|
||||
│ └── my_package/
|
||||
│ ├── __init__.py
|
||||
│ └── module.py
|
||||
└── tests/
|
||||
└── test_module.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Minimal pyproject.toml
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[build-system]
|
||||
requires = ["setuptools>=61.0"]
|
||||
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
|
||||
|
||||
[project]
|
||||
name = "my-package"
|
||||
version = "0.1.0"
|
||||
description = "A short description"
|
||||
authors = [{name = "Your Name", email = "you@example.com"}]
|
||||
readme = "README.md"
|
||||
requires-python = ">=3.8"
|
||||
dependencies = [
|
||||
"requests>=2.28.0",
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
[project.optional-dependencies]
|
||||
dev = [
|
||||
"pytest>=7.0",
|
||||
"black>=22.0",
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Package Structure Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 1: Source Layout (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
my-package/
|
||||
├── pyproject.toml
|
||||
├── README.md
|
||||
├── LICENSE
|
||||
├── .gitignore
|
||||
├── src/
|
||||
│ └── my_package/
|
||||
│ ├── __init__.py
|
||||
│ ├── core.py
|
||||
│ ├── utils.py
|
||||
│ └── py.typed # For type hints
|
||||
├── tests/
|
||||
│ ├── __init__.py
|
||||
│ ├── test_core.py
|
||||
│ └── test_utils.py
|
||||
└── docs/
|
||||
└── index.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Advantages:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Prevents accidentally importing from source
|
||||
- Cleaner test imports
|
||||
- Better isolation
|
||||
|
||||
**pyproject.toml for source layout:**
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[tool.setuptools.packages.find]
|
||||
where = ["src"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 2: Flat Layout
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
my-package/
|
||||
├── pyproject.toml
|
||||
├── README.md
|
||||
├── my_package/
|
||||
│ ├── __init__.py
|
||||
│ └── module.py
|
||||
└── tests/
|
||||
└── test_module.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Simpler but:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Can import package without installing
|
||||
- Less professional for libraries
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 3: Multi-Package Project
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
project/
|
||||
├── pyproject.toml
|
||||
├── packages/
|
||||
│ ├── package-a/
|
||||
│ │ └── src/
|
||||
│ │ └── package_a/
|
||||
│ └── package-b/
|
||||
│ └── src/
|
||||
│ └── package_b/
|
||||
└── tests/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
