📦 Day 38 of #100DaysOfCode in Python: Mastering Packaging and Distribution

Welcome to Day 38! Today, we focus on an essential aspect of Python development: packaging and distributing your Python projects. This skill is key to sharing your code with the wider Python community.

1. Understanding Python Packages

A Python package is a way of organizing Python code into “modules”, which are simply Python files. A package allows you to structure your Python code in a manageable and coherent manner, enabling reuse across different projects and by different users.

2. Creating a Python Package

To create a package, you need to:

• Organize Your Code: Arrange your Python scripts into directories and subdirectories. Each directory containing Python scripts should have a __init__.py file (can be empty) to be recognized as a Python package.
• Setup File: Create a setup.py file at the root of your directory. This file includes details about your package like name, version, description, dependencies, etc.

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    name='your_package_name',
    version='0.1',
    packages=find_packages()…
