What build backend does this skill use?

The skill defaults to Hatchling, a modern and flexible build backend that is the current standard for many Python projects using pyproject.toml.

Does this skill handle project licensing?

Yes, it prompts you to choose between MIT, Proprietary, or O'Saasy licenses and automatically generates the appropriate LICENSE file.

What tools are required to use the generated build script?

The generated build-publish.sh script requires the 'build' and 'twine' packages, both of which are automatically included in the generated dev-requirements.txt file.

Why is the project structure using a src/ directory?

The 'src layout' is a recommended best practice that prevents accidental imports of the local package code, ensuring your tests run against the actually installed version of your package.

Can I use this for private, non-PyPI projects?

Yes. While it includes PyPI publishing scripts, you can select the 'Proprietary' license and simply use the structure for local development or private repositories.

Despliegue y DevOps

Scaffolds professional Python project structures optimized for PyPI distribution using modern standards like pyproject.toml and src layouts.

The Python PyPI Project Setup skill streamlines the initial development phase for Python libraries by scaffolding a production-ready directory structure. It automatically generates essential configuration files including pyproject.toml with Hatchling support, a standardized src/ layout, a comprehensive .gitignore, and automated build-publish scripts. By guiding users through critical configuration questions—such as licensing (MIT, Proprietary, or O'Saasy) and dependency management—it ensures projects follow modern Python packaging best practices from day one, significantly reducing manual setup time and potential configuration errors.
