From Loose Code to Local Package

Make your package installable for yourself and others. In this chapter, you'll learn to deal with dependencies,  write READMEs, and include licenses. You'll also complete all the steps to publish your package on PyPI—the main home of Python packages.

Appropriate style filtering

Using flake8 to tidy up a file

Ignoring specific errors

Configuring flake8

Increasing Your Package Quality

Create your packages more quickly. In this final chapter, you’ll learn how to use cookiecutter to generate all the supporting files your package needs, Makefiles to simplify releasing new versions, and be introduced to the last few files your package needs to attract users and contributors.

Faster package development with templates

Wrap-up

Rapid Package Development

Do you find yourself copying and pasting the same code between files, wishing it was easier to reuse and share your awesome snippets? Wrapping your code into Python packages can help! In this course, you’ll learn about package structure and the extra files needed to turn loose code into convenient packages. You'll also learn about import structure, documentation, and how to maintain code style using flake8. You’ll then speed up your package development by building templates, using cookiecutter to create package skeletons. Finally, you'll learn how to use setuptools and twine to build and publish your packages to PyPI—the world stage for Python packages.
