Description

Learn the current method for creating Python packages.

Packaging Python-based applications has evolved over time. Up until Python 3.12 the standard library included a packaging library called distutils. The distutils package is being deprecated in favor of third-party options such as build and setuptools. This lab explores Python packaging through hands-on learning.

Learning Objectives:

  • Creating source and distribution packages
  • The pyproject.toml file.
  • The third-party modules:
    • build
    • setuptools

Prerequisites:

  • Proficient with:
    • The Python runtime
    • The Python language syntax
    • The package installer for Python (pip)
