What does the Python Packaging skill cover?

It provides comprehensive guidance for creating, structuring, and distributing Python packages using modern tools, covering the complete lifecycle from project setup through publishing to PyPI, including configuration with pyproject.toml, building wheels and source distributions, and managing package metadata and versioning.

When should I use the Python Packaging skill?

Use it when creating Python libraries for distribution, building command-line tools with entry points, publishing packages to PyPI or private repositories, setting up project structure, creating installable packages with dependencies, building wheels and source distributions, versioning and releasing packages, creating namespace packages, or implementing package metadata and classifiers.

What do I need to provide to use this skill?

You provide your goals, constraints, and required inputs related to Python packaging tasks. The skill then clarifies these requirements, applies relevant best practices, validates outcomes, and delivers actionable steps with verification.

Overview

Python Packaging

A guide to creating, structuring, and distributing Python packages using modern packaging tools, pyproject.toml, and PyPI publishing. Use it when creating a Python library or CLI tool for distribution, setting up project structure, or versioning and publishing a release.

What it does

A guide to creating, structuring, and distributing Python packages using modern packaging tools, pyproject.toml, and publishing to PyPI. Points to a companion resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use it when creating a Python library for distribution, building a CLI tool with entry points, publishing to PyPI or a private repository, setting up project structure, building wheels and source distributions, versioning and releasing a package, creating namespace packages, or implementing package metadata and classifiers. Not a fit for tasks unrelated to Python packaging.

Inputs and outputs

Input: a Python codebase needing packaging, distribution, or a release process. Output: a structured, installable package with pyproject.toml configuration, entry points, metadata and classifiers, and build artifacts (wheel and source distribution) ready to publish.

Who it's for

Python developers packaging a library or CLI tool for distribution to PyPI or a private index.
