How to Publish a Python Package to PyPI (pip)

[@shivuveerkumar]

Bro seriously one of the best video on KZbin

[@aadilzikre]

Thank you for the Guidance. I was able to create the package without much googling!!

[@pixegami]

Awesome, glad to hear that!

[@2dapoint424]

The best video!! Short and concise!! Thank you sharing this!

[@b1gfreakn678]

Many thanks for this! I was finally able to create my first package. It's just for personal use, so I didn't upload to pypi, but it's something I wished I understood how to do for a couple years at this point. So awesome to see it working, thanks to your help!

[@pythonantole9892]

I'm surprised at how easy this is. I'm motivated to bundle some of my scripts into packages.

[@danielvega646]

actually npm is way better and straightforward. This part of creating a token on pypi was a whole issue for me

[@pixegami]

Sometimes I do wish Python's package management/environment was as integrated as Node :)

[@pixegami]

Yup! This can be useful if you if you need to re-use scripts or to share them with your team.

[@rafaelfonseca7942]

Helpful video... came in handy for me here! Thanks!

[@pixegami]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that :)

[@muhammadqaisarali]

Thanks man, it was straight forward

[@helloanshu4080]

mate thanks for the tutorial , it came in handy 😊

[@giant306]

Very neat and informative. Thanks a million

[@ojaswanibakshi5314]

bro seriously you are a life saviour

[@typehint]

This is an absolutely fantastic tutorial. Thanks for this!

[@DamoOne]

Really well explained, thanks!

[@pixegami]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stefanrankovic2514]

One thing I'd like to mention is that before publishing a new version, go to the dist folder and delete the tar.gz and .whl files of the previous version or you won't be able to upload the new version. Everything else is good and I thank you for that

[@TaerimYoon]

Best video! Thank you!

[@ttaylor9916]

Nice writeup ... all worked for me.

[@tarangsuri8932]

Great tutorial, Thanks!

[@ZhanCaitao]

Nice video, really helped.

[@sg8nj]

Great work

[@pablomunsey]

Concise and to the point. I keep revisiting it as I progress. Would like to see a compatible one usng a pyproject.toml.

[@pixegami]

Thank you, glad it's helpful! I need to take a look at using the toml format, I haven't used it before.

[@prajganesh]

Great one. side topic. Can you tell us which tool you use to create the youtube thumbnail? thanks.

[@pixegami]

Thanks! I use Photoshop for the thumbnails.

[@shreyansen1132]

thanks!

[@lookingoffswitch4344]

Should "pip install setuptools wheel twice" be done in my project's virtual environment or should these libraries be installed into my global Python environment? TIA!

[@Happyendrew]

Thanks a lot!

[@_aade]

Is there a way to change the version number automatically?

[@pixegami]

Yeah, I'd recommend implementing this as something like a Git hook maybe for minor/patch version number.

[@_aade]

Will there be a problem if I delete previous versions?

[@pixegami]

Generally, I don't think you're meant to delete previous versions, but I'm sure it'll be fine if you have to do it (I haven't tried it out myself though).

[@_aade]

Why do we have to use twine?

[@pixegami]

I don't think we have to use it, but it was just the easiest/recommended way I found online of how to actually upload the local content to the remote repository.

[@_aade]

Thank you, my friend, I am grateful to you for answering all three of my questions :)@@pixegami

[@pranav_arya]

which plugin or app you are using for VS Code terminal autocomplete suggestions?

[@pixegami]

It's GitHub Co-Pilot.

[@pranav_arya]

​@@pixegami Thanks for responding. Are you using the fish terminal?

[@slipthetrap]

Is this all that is needed to also do: pipx install pixegami-hello ... for example? Thanks for the videos.

[@HashtagTiluda]

A quick question, what if I want to pass a string to the hello function?

[@pixegami]

If you wanna use it as a library, then it's just a normal function (so you can add an argument to it, and use it after you import it). If you wanna use it like a CLI (from the terminal), you can do it using a library like argparse: docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#module-argparse

[@HashtagTiluda]

@@pixegami thank you!

[@Tcrrxzz]

But the entry_points isn't a setup parameter? please explain it!! thanks

[@niklyons9674]

This is awesome information. I have a script I'm looking do download on a Windows system and a Linux system. Are you able to run this packages on a CronJob for Linux and task scheduler for Windows Machines?

[@tellezgerardoruben5202]

Is possible to make this work with extensions made in another language like C?

[@paradoxial7665]

So I installed my library and when I import it to a file to test, everything works fine when I run the code, however Pylance says the module doesn't exist but when the code is ran, it works just fine? I wonder why??

[@richardalphonse2680]

Well Explained , thanks I Have doubt in terms of loading json data within folder structure and reading it wihthin a function how it can excuted can you help me with this

[@pixegami]

First, you need to configure your setuptools to include data files like JSON: docs.python.org/3.8/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-additional-files Then it'll be packaged along with your Python scripts, and you can just call/use it from there.

[@anirbansom6682]

How to create a CLI Command which will accept arguments ? Like, pixegami-hello --file_name /file/path/

[@pixegami]

This is how you wire up scripts to command: python-packaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command-line-scripts.html If you want to parse arguments, use this built-in library: docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html

[@xsamueljr]

If my package is in a github repository, and I want to use `pip install git+[some link].git`, do I need to commit and push the wheel files?

[@Chuukwudi]

Important question. Have you found an answer?

[@xsamueljr]

​@@Chuukwudi I think you don't need to push the wheel files (mainly because I was able to install a package that didn't have them), but I'm not entirely sure

[@prashantmeti7986]

I didn't get how and where to export the token and api key please tell me

[@pixegami]

It's just environment variables, so if you're not familair with them, search "how do I set environments in Linux/Mac/Windows?" (or whichever OS you are using) on Google. Good luck!

[@therealone0777]

i get this whenever i try to export it: C:\Users\HP User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\\Users\\HP User\\Desktop\\NeuralNetwork\\twine': [Errno 2] No such file or directory i can't even test it

[@gokulyc]

can you make using hatch package manager

[@shubhamshastri7409]

i am able to do this but what if i want my package to be uploaded privately , one only with auth can able to install it with pip

[@pixegami]

I think you can upload to your own private repository for that. You'll probably have to look up how to set up your own private PyPI server.

[@cristiandiaz3551]

hey men, im do the same but my project have some dependencies, it work localy but but i try to install form pypi it dont install the dependacies, can you help me ?

[@pixegami]

Have you tried adding them to `install_requires`? See here: python-packaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dependencies.html

[@TechnicalLodhiOfficial]

Bro I can't understand how setup environment variable ( 8:14 ) Can you please clarify that?

[@pixegami]

There's lots of ways to set an environment variable. It's basically a variable that is set at the OS level, and shared with all processes in that terminal/application context. I'd recommend to Google "how do I set up environment variables on Linux/Mac/Windows? (or whichever OS you are on)" and follow those instructions.

[@TechnicalLodhiOfficial]

@@pixegami I googled it and found out the results Thanks!

[@AbtinDar]

String library is not installed

[@Investmentpunk1]

Can you please redo that video with the pyproject.toml and poetry, since it is the industry standard nowadays. Thank you :)

[@artofworkk]

I can't install twine

[@ishanoshada]

How to totp verification do???

[@pixegami]

Hmm, is this part of the package publishing workflow, or is this for something different?

[@ishanoshada]

@@pixegami pypi verification

[@tonylovesmusic6806]

unfortunately, i am not able to type in my token this is not your problem, but is know issue and i tried everything it all failed please help it's 2am and i am dying /jk :))))))

[@thetaomegatheta]

5:00 Nope. Does not work. Neither the python CLI, nor other projects can see anything in the package after installation. Furthermore, `__init__.py` even claims that the imports are unused. When trying to import anything from the package after the installation, it throws ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'my-library'.
