Tooting from the Open Source Bridge session on Python Packaging, led by @brainwane

For overview and tutorials on current standards, see https://packaging.python.org/

Recommends Dustin Ingram's recent talk "Inside the Cheeseshop" for a history of Python's package repository over the years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQsZsgJ30AE

PyPI is the Python Packaging Index, pronounced like "pie pee eye."

#python #pypi #osb18

For distributing *applications*, rather than libraries, there's probably a post from dsufft about it on https://caremad.io

[which *might be* https://caremad.io/posts/2013/07/setup-vs-requirement/ but this editor isn't sure.]

Important side note:

There's a fan-cut music video for Lady Gaga's "Telephone" but based on the action show 24.

Other important side note:

Read 17776 for stories about sentient spacecraft: https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-football

The thing you use to *upload* to PyPI is `twine` https://pypi.org/project/twine/

(not to be confused with the tool for authoring interactive fiction)

There is a `test.pypi.org` to test your packaging / upload / distribution process before giving it to PyPI for real.

devpi is a thing you can use to host your own private package repository. https://pypi.org/project/devpi/
