What is the benefit of the 'src' layout recommended by this skill?

The 'src' layout prevents accidental imports of the local code directory, ensuring that tests run against the installed version of the package, which mirrors the end-user experience.

Does this skill support modern PEP 621 standards?

Yes, it prioritizes PEP 621 and pyproject.toml as the single source of truth for metadata management and build system requirements.

Does it help with creating command-line tools?

Yes, it provides specific patterns for registering entry-point scripts and building robust CLIs using libraries like Click or the standard argparse module.

Can I use this for private package repositories?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for configuring public PyPI as well as private repositories like AWS CodeArtifact, JFrog Artifactory, or GitLab Package Registry.

Deployment & DevOps

Streamlines the creation, configuration, and distribution of professional Python packages using modern PEP standards and pyproject.toml.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for structuring Python projects according to modern industry standards such as PEP 517, 518, and 621. It guides developers through the complexities of creating robust pyproject.toml configurations, implementing professional source layouts, and building command-line interfaces with tools like Click or argparse. By automating the boilerplate for build backends like setuptools or hatchling, it simplifies the entire release lifecycle—from local development and editable installs to building wheels and publishing directly to PyPI or private repositories via GitHub Actions.
