Modern Python Packaging: From Script to Package

Ready to share your Python code but unsure how to turn it into an installable package? This course demystifies the modern Python packaging ecosystem, guiding you from a simple script to a professional, distributable project. You will learn to structure, build, and publish your own Python packages that others can easily install and use. Through clear explanations and practical exercises, you'll gain the confidence to manage dependencies and share your work with the community. What you'll learn: - Understand the role of `pyproject.toml` in defining project metadata and build dependencies. - Manage project dependencies and isolate environments for reproducible builds. - Configure a modern build system to create standard distribution formats like wheels. - Structure your Python project with a maintainable and conventional layout. - Write basic tests for your package using `pytest` to ensure its quality. - Prepare and upload your package to the Python Package Index (PyPI) for public use. This course begins with the fundamental concepts of packaging and project structure before progressing to the practical steps of building and distributing your code. No prior experience with packaging is necessary, making it ideal for developers who want to learn the correct, modern approach.
