How to Build and Publish Your First Python Package to PyPI

Publishing your own library to the Python Package Index (PyPI) turns a local script into a globally installable tool with a single command: pip install your-package.

If you've been putting off package creation because older tooling felt convoluted, modern Python standards (pyproject.toml) make the process clean and predictable.

What We Cover:

1. Setting up the recommended src/ directory structure
2. Configuring pyproject.toml with metadata, licenses, and build backends
3. Building source distributions and wheels using python -m build
4. Testing your upload safely against TestPyPI
5. Publishing to production PyPI with API token security
