PyPI Server

About

This skill provides a comprehensive workflow for developers looking to create and test Python packages locally before publishing to public repositories. It offers step-by-step guidance on structuring packages with pyproject.toml, building distributable wheels and source archives, and setting up a local HTTP-based PyPI server. Whether managing environment-specific compatibility for Python 3.13+ or verifying package installation via pip's index-url, this skill ensures a reliable and reproducible local development and testing cycle for Python modules.
