To create a pyproject.toml for Python packaging, you define project metadata, dependencies, and build backend configurations. This Skill provides guidance on generating minimal configurations using modern standards like setuptools, hatchling, flit, or poetry.

Publishing Python packages to PyPI involves building distribution formats like wheels and sdists, then uploading them. This Skill facilitates the complete distribution process, covering requirements for package metadata and publishing steps.

Yes, modern Python packaging supports advanced patterns like namespace packages and C extensions. This Skill addresses these specific configurations alongside standard requirements for entry points and dependency management.

Yes, you can use build backends like hatchling, flit, poetry, or setuptools for Python distribution. This Skill covers configuring these various backends within your pyproject.toml to structure and build your project.

Wheel and sdist are the primary distribution formats for Python packaging, serving different installation scenarios. This Skill covers building both formats to ensure your package is easily installable by other developers via PyPI.

Configuring entry points and dependencies in pyproject.toml requires defining specific metadata fields within your chosen build backend. This Skill addresses these requirements to ensure your Python package exposes executables and manages library dependencies correctly.
