## Complete pyproject.toml Examples

### Pattern 4: Full-Featured pyproject.toml

```toml
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=61.0", "wheel"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

[project]
name = "my-awesome-package"
version = "1.0.0"
description = "An awesome Python package"
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">=3.8"
license = {text = "MIT"}
authors = [
    {name = "Your Name", email = "you@example.com"},
]
maintainers = [
    {name = "Maintainer Name", email = "maintainer@example.com"},
]
keywords = ["example", "package", "awesome"]
classifiers = [
    "Development Status :: 4 - Beta",
    "Intended Audience :: Developers",
    "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.8",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.9",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.10",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.11",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.12",
]

dependencies = [
    "requests>=2.28.0,<3.0.0",
    "click>=8.0.0",
    "pydantic>=2.0.0",
]

[project.optional-dependencies]
dev = [
    "pytest>=7.0.0",
    "pytest-cov>=4.0.0",
    "black>=23.0.0",
    "ruff>=0.1.0",
    "mypy>=1.0.0",
]
docs = [
    "sphinx>=5.0.0",
    "sphinx-rtd-theme>=1.0.0",
]
all = [
    "my-awesome-package[dev,docs]",
]

[project.urls]
Homepage = "https://github.com/username/my-awesome-package"
Documentation = "https://my-awesome-package.readthedocs.io"
Repository = "https://github.com/username/my-awesome-package"
"Bug Tracker" = "https://github.com/username/my-awesome-package/issues"

where = ["src"]
include = ["my_package*"]
exclude = ["tests*"]

[tool.setuptools.package-data]
my_package = ["py.typed", "*.pyi", "data/*.json"]

# Black configuration
[tool.black]
line-length = 100
target-version = ["py38", "py39", "py310", "py311"]
include = '\.pyi?$'

# Ruff configuration
[tool.ruff]
line-length = 100

# MyPy configuration
[tool.mypy]
python_version = "3.8"
warn_return_any = true
warn_unused_configs = true

# Pytest configuration

exclude_lines = [
    "pragma: no cover",

]
```

### Pattern 5: Dynamic Versioning

```toml
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=61.0", "setuptools-scm>=8.0"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

[project]
name = "my-package"
dynamic = ["version"]
description = "Package with dynamic version"

[tool.setuptools.dynamic]
version = {attr = "my_package.__version__"}

# Or use setuptools-scm for git-based versioning
[tool.setuptools_scm]
write_to = "src/my_package/_version.py"
```

**In **init**.py:**

```python
# src/my_package/__init__.py
__version__ = "1.0.0"

# Or with setuptools-scm
from importlib.metadata import version
__version__ = version("my-package")
```

## Command-Line Interface (CLI) Patterns

### Pattern 6: CLI with Click

```python
# src/my_package/cli.py
import click

@click.group()
@click.version_option()
def cli():
    """My awesome CLI tool."""
    pass

@cli.command()
@click.argument("name")
@click.option("--greeting", default="Hello", help="Greeting to use")
def greet(name: str, greeting: str):
    """Greet someone."""
    click.echo(f"{greeting}, {name}!")

@cli.command()
@click.option("--count", default=1, help="Number of times to repeat")
def repeat(count: int):
    """Repeat a message."""
    for i in range(count):
        click.echo(f"Message {i + 1}")

def main():
    """Entry point for CLI."""
    cli()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

**Register in pyproject.toml:**

```toml
[project.scripts]
my-tool = "my_package.cli:main"
```

**Usage:**

```bash
pip install -e .
my-tool greet World
my-tool greet Alice --greeting="Hi"
my-tool repeat --count=3
```

### Pattern 7: CLI with argparse

```python
# src/my_package/cli.py
import argparse
import sys

def main():
    """Main CLI entry point."""
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
        description="My awesome tool",
        prog="my-tool"
    )

    parser.add_argument(
        "--version",
        action="version",
        version="%(prog)s 1.0.0"
    )

    subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(dest="command", help="Commands")

    # Add subcommand
    process_parser = subparsers.add_parser("process", help="Process data")
    process_parser.add_argument("input_file", help="Input file path")
    process_parser.add_argument(
        "--output", "-o",
        default="output.txt",
        help="Output file path"
    )

    args = parser.parse_args()

    if args.command == "process":
        process_data(args.input_file, args.output)
    else:
        parser.print_help()
        sys.exit(1)

def process_data(input_file: str, output_file: str):
    """Process data from input to output."""
    print(f"Processing {input_file} -> {output_file}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

## Building and Publishing

### Pattern 8: Build Package Locally

```bash
# Install build tools
pip install build twine

# Build distribution
python -m build

# This creates:
# dist/
#   my-package-1.0.0.tar.gz (source distribution)
#   my_package-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl (wheel)

# Check the distribution
twine check dist/*
```

### Pattern 9: Publishing to PyPI

```bash
# Install publishing tools
pip install twine

# Test on TestPyPI first
twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*

# Install from TestPyPI to test
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ my-package

# If all good, publish to PyPI
twine upload dist/*
```

**Using API tokens (recommended):**

```bash
# Create ~/.pypirc
[distutils]
index-servers =
    pypi
    testpypi

[pypi]
username = __token__
password = pypi-...your-token...

[testpypi]
username = __token__
password = pypi-...your-test-token...
```

### Pattern 10: Automated Publishing with GitHub Actions

```yaml
# .github/workflows/publish.yml
name: Publish to PyPI

on:
  release:
    types: [created]

jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: "3.11"

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          pip install build twine

      - name: Build package
        run: python -m build

      - name: Check package
        run: twine check dist/*

      - name: Publish to PyPI
        env:
          TWINE_USERNAME: __token__
          TWINE_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PYPI_API_TOKEN }}
        run: twine upload dist/*
```
