Building a Python Package

Building a Python Package: Introduction

by Jarrett Retz

January 2nd, 2021

Introduction

This blog post is an introduction to a series I am doing on how to build a Python package. It will cover, among other things, how to:

  • Download Python
  • Create a virtual environment (?)
  • Set up the package to publish
  • Select a license

It probably won't be a detailed how-to on what the package does (in terms of programming) because I am not sure how complicated that may be. However, it will cover the steps required to get a package in the Python index so you could download it for a later project.

Furthermore, I don't know how long it will take. We are going to go week-by-week and see how that goes. Stay tuned for a home page for the posts and possibly links on this post for more information.
