Question

Packaging

The next step in packaging is to write the setup.py file.
This contains information necessary to assemble the package so it can be uploaded to PyPI and installed with pip (name, version, etc.).
Example of a setup.py file:
from distutils.core import setup

setup(
name='SoloLearn',
version='0.1dev',
packages=['sololearn',],
license='MIT',
long_description=open('README.txt').read(),
)

After creating the setup.py file, upload it to PyPI, or use the command line to create a binary distribution (an executable installer).
To build a source distribution, use the command line to navigate to the directory containing setup.py, and run the command python setup.py sdist.
Run python setup.py bdist or, for Windows, python setup.py bdist_wininst to build a binary distribution.
Use python setup.py register, followed by python setup.py sdist upload to upload a package.

Finally, install a package with python setup.py install.

I don't understand any of the word usage here and the code, if this could be explained in greater detail on a basic level it'd be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

sdist

Answer 2

Answer 3

Just like classes are groups of functions and modules are groups of classes and functions, Packages are groups of modules. PyPi is where all the packages are uploaded. Packages are installed using the command--
pip install package_name

To make your own package, you need to make a setup.py file as shown above, which allows it to be accessed by pip.
