Create Your First Python Package: Make Your Python Code Easier to Share and Use
Tetsuo Koyama, Leah Wasser, Inessa Pawson, Carol Willing
Python packaging can be overwhelming. However, a trusted, community-vetted workflow can make it easier. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn a tested approach developed by the pyOpenSci community and vetted by Python packaging maintainers. You’ll create an installable, maintainable, and citable package using a quickstart template. You’ll also receive step-by-step guidance on publishing to TestPyPI (and resources for conda-forge, and adding a DOI with Zenodo). If you can’t install software on your laptop, you can use GitHub Codespaces to participate in the workshop. Join us to package your Python code confidently and to access ongoing support in our community beyond the workshop.
