Python Packaging & Distribution

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for structuring, configuring, and distributing Python libraries and CLI tools. It guides developers through modern packaging standards like PEP 621, helps implement professional 'src' layouts, and streamlines the process of publishing to PyPI or private repositories. Whether you are building a simple utility or a complex multi-package monorepo, it ensures your project metadata, dependencies, and build backends are correctly configured for maximum compatibility and maintainability.

• Modern pyproject.toml configuration following PEP 621
• Command-line interface (CLI) boilerplate for Click and argparse
• Dynamic versioning and dependency management optimization
• 1 GitHub stars
• Professional project scaffolding for source and flat layouts
• Automated build and PyPI distribution workflow patterns

Use Cases

• Standardizing project structures within a monorepo ecosystem
• Building installable CLI tools with defined entry points
• Creating and publishing open-source libraries to PyPI
