How does it handle publishing to PyPI?

It provides comprehensive guides for manual publishing using 'build' and 'twine', as well as automated CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions.

Can I use this to create Command Line Interface (CLI) tools?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific patterns for registering project.scripts and implementing CLI logic using libraries like Click or the built-in argparse.

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

The 'src' layout prevents accidental imports from the project root and ensures your tests run against the actually installed package, mimicking the experience of an end-user.

Does this skill support modern Python packaging standards?

Yes, it is designed around PEP 517, 518, 621, and 660, ensuring compatibility with modern build systems and metadata formats.
