SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Packaging Python projects can be error-prone without a correct layout, metadata, and build configuration, complicating distribution to PyPI or private repos.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Modern, pyproject.toml-based packaging with support for setuptools, hatchling, and flit
  • Guidance for common layouts (src layout vs flat layout), metadata, classifiers, and dependencies
  • Use cases include libraries, CLI tools, and multi-module projects ready for publishing

Quick Start

Create a minimal Python package with a pyproject.toml, a src layout, and publish to PyPI.

FAQPage Schema
How do I package a Python project for PyPI distribution?▼

Python packaging for PyPI distribution requires a correct project layout and a pyproject.toml file defining metadata, classifiers, and dependencies. This workflow supports libraries, CLI tools, and multi-module projects to ensure correct build configuration.

What is the best way to structure a Python package using pyproject.toml?▼

The best way to structure a Python package using pyproject.toml is choosing between a src layout or flat layout. This ensures correct metadata and build configuration for modern packaging workflows before attempting distribution.

Does Python packaging work with setuptools, hatchling, and flit?▼

Python packaging works with setuptools, hatchling, and flit as supported build backends. You configure any of these backends within your pyproject.toml file to build and distribute libraries or CLI tools.

How do I publish a CLI tool to PyPI with modern packaging?▼

To publish a CLI tool to PyPI with modern packaging, configure your pyproject.toml metadata and supported build backend, then execute the end-to-end publishing steps. This ensures your command-line tool is correctly built and distributed.

When do I need a pyproject.toml file for Python packaging?▼

You need a pyproject.toml file for Python packaging when preparing libraries, CLI tools, or multi-module projects for PyPI publishing or private repositories. It enforces the metadata and build configuration required for modern distribution.
