How to publish a Python package to PyPI

PyPI is the Python Package Index, a repository of software for the Python programming language. It is the default repository for Python packages, and is used by pip, the standard package installer for Python.

To publish a Python package to PyPI, you will need to create a PyPI account and create a package distribution file (sdist). You can then upload the sdist to PyPI using the twine tool.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• pip
• twine

Steps

1. Create a PyPI account.

Go to the PyPI website and create an account.

2. Make your code publish-ready.

Make sure that your code is well-tested and documented. You should also create a README file that explains how to use your package.

3. Create a Python package.

To create a Python package, you need to create a directory with the name of your package. Inside this directory, create a file called __init__.py. This file can be empty, but it tells Python that the directory is a package.

You can also create subdirectories inside your package directory to organize your code.

1. Create the files PyPI needs.
