Description:

pckbrendan 0.0.1

Overview
The goal of this activity is to introduce you to python's packaging system called PyPi (Python Package Index). PyPi maintains a directory service for contributed packages that is accessible by pip whenever the tool is used to install a new package.
Instructions
Begin by creating a folder for your package under src. Because the name of your package has to be unique, add your name as a suffix for your package name.
src/pck_<your_name>

Next, create the following file structure for your package.
src
|__pck_<your_name>
|__ __init__.py
|__ mod.py
test.py
README.md
pyproject.toml

Leave init.py blank. init.py is required to import the directory as a package, and can be empty.
Add the following code in mod.py, which will be the single module in your package.
def add_one(number):
return number + 1

Add the following code in test.py. It will not be a proper test, just a validation that the package can be properly imported and used.
from pck_<your_name> import mod

print(mod.add_one(5))

After the validation, add the following in pyproject.toml, making sure to update <your_name>.
[build-system]
requires = ["hatchling"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"

[project]
name = "pck_<your_name>"
version = "0.0.1"
authors = [
{ name="Example Author", email="[email protected]" },
]
description = "A small example package"
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">=3.7"
classifiers = [
"Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
"License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
"Operating System :: OS Independent",
]

[project.urls]
"Homepage" = "https://github.com/pypa/sampleproject"
"Bug Tracker" = "https://github.com/pypa/sampleproject/issues"

Write something about your project in README.md (it cannot be left blank).
This is a test project to learn something new. Added it here instead of creating a new read me.

Next, try to build your project (from src) using:
python3 -m build

If you get an error saying "No module named build" it means that you need to install build using pip3.
After the build, a dist folder will be created.
Next, it is time to publish your package so others can use. You need an account in https://pypi.org/. Then, go to https://pypi.org/manage/account/ and scroll down so you can click on the "Add API token" button. Give your token a name and select "Entire account (all projects)" as the scope. Copy the token and use it to run the following:
python3 -m twine upload -u __token__ -p <replace with your token> dist/*

You can repeat this process multiple times if needed. For example, you may want to update your package. To do that, update the version of your package in pyproject.toml. Next, remove the dist folder and rebuild. Finally, upload the new version.
To test the installation and use of your package from PyPi, create a virtual environment and copy test.py and see if you can run it.
