Python Package Distribution with PyPI and Warehouse

Distributing your Python code so others can easily install it is a fundamental skill, yet navigating the packaging ecosystem can feel overwhelming. This text-based course guides you from Python packaging basics to confidently publishing your own libraries on the modern Python Package Index (PyPI), powered by the Warehouse platform. What you'll learn: • Understand the core architecture of PyPI and how the Warehouse codebase manages packages. • Master foundational packaging concepts, including metadata, dependencies, and versioning standards. • Build source distributions and wheels using modern tools. • Configure secure publishing workflows using API tokens and trusted publishers. • Publish your packages safely to TestPyPI before releasing them to the public. • Practice managing package releases and maintaining your open-source projects. You will start with essential terminology and structural concepts before progressing through step-by-step written explanations to package and distribute a library. This course is designed for beginner Python developers who want to share their code, with no prior packaging experience required.
