Modular Python: Building and Distributing Python Packages

As Python projects grow, keeping all your code in a single file becomes impossible to manage. Organizing your code into modular, reusable packages is the key to writing clean, maintainable, and professional software. This text-based course guides you through the transition from writing simple scripts to designing robust Python packages. You will learn how to structure your directories, manage dependencies, and prepare your code for distribution using modern industry standards. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of modules, namespaces, and package imports in Python - Structure complex projects using standard directory layouts and initialization files - Manage project dependencies and virtual environments to ensure clean development setups - Configure package metadata using modern pyproject.toml standards - Apply type hints and code formatting to maintain high readability across your modules - Prepare and build your package for distribution using standard packaging tools You will start with the fundamental terminology of modular programming, then step-by-step construct your own package, and finally learn how to package it for distribution. This course is designed for beginner Python developers who want to write cleaner code and understand how professional libraries are structured; no prior experience with packaging is required.
