Can I use this skill to create Command Line Interface (CLI) tools?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific implementation patterns for both Click and argparse, including the 'project.scripts' configuration needed to make your tools runnable from the terminal.

How does this skill help with publishing to PyPI?

It provides step-by-step workflows for building distributions with the 'build' module and securely uploading them to PyPI using Twine or automated GitHub Actions.

Does this skill support modern Python packaging standards?

Yes, it focuses on modern PEP standards like PEP 517, PEP 518, and PEP 621, prioritizing pyproject.toml for metadata over legacy setup.py files.

What is the recommended directory structure for a Python package?

The skill strongly recommends the 'src' layout (src/package_name/) because it prevents accidental imports from the root directory and ensures that tests run against the installed version of your package.

Acerca de

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for creating, structuring, and distributing Python packages according to modern PEP standards. It helps developers implement the recommended 'src' layout, configure pyproject.toml with PEP 621 metadata, manage build backends like setuptools or hatchling, and automate the release process to PyPI. Whether you are building internal command-line tools or public library ecosystems, this skill ensures professional-grade project architecture, robust dependency management, and distribution readiness.
