Python Publish Package

Reference: How to publish open-source python package to pypi^[1]

PEPs about Python Packaging

The most important documents that define how Python packaging works are the following PEPs:

PEP 427 describes how wheels should be packaged.
PEP 440 describes how version numbers should be parsed.
PEP 508 describes how dependencies should be specified.
PEP 517 describes how a build backend should work.
PEP 518 describes how a build system should be specified.
PEP 621 describes how project metadata should be written.
PEP 660 describes how editable installs should be performed.

Project Structure

In the reference article^[1], it shows a demo project:

realpython-reader/
│
├── src/
│   └── reader/
│       ├── __init__.py
│       ├── __main__.py
│       ├── config.toml
│       ├── feed.py
│       └── viewer.py
│
├── tests/
│   ├── test_feed.py
│   └── test_viewer.py
│
├── LICENSE
├── MANIFEST.in
├── README.md
└── pyproject.toml

And I will explain their function one by one:

src: hold all the codes
- reader: the core module
  - __init__.py: represents the root of your package, store some constant into here
  - __main__.py: Indeed, when executing a package with python -m as you did earlier, Python runs the contents of __main__.py.In other words, __main__.py acts as the entry point of your program and takes care of the main flow.
  - config.toml: config.toml is a configuration file used to specify the URL of the feed of Real Python tutorials.
  - *.py: some otehr codes
tests: create tests by pytest
pyproject.toml: the profile of the project

The detailed info are shown on the reference site, and here I would like to show an easier example. And here is my project struct:

.
├── README.md
├── lib
├── pyproject.toml
├── scripts
│   └── obs2hexo.sh
└── src
    └── o2h
        ├── __init__.py
        └── translator.py

And here is my pyproject.toml file:
