Everyday Project Packaging With pyproject.toml (Summary)

This was really helpful. It’s good to learn how to do these things once and for all!

This is my first course as a paid subscriber.

I really enjoyed the conversational format and all the materials provided, plus the transcript, were excellent.

Nice to know there is a standard way to do this now!

This is my README.md added to my project file for this course, which may help others:

Everyday Project Packaging With pyproject.toml (Overview) – Real Python

Install the package in editable mode using -e. This will install the package in development mode, so that any changes made to the source code will be reflected in the installed package. This is useful for development purposes. Run the following command in the root directory of the project (after creating and activating a virtual environment): python -m pip install -e .

1. Building and Distributing Packages with Setuptools

2. Get to Know Python Packaging

3. Configuring setuptools using pyproject.toml files

4. Python and TOML: New Best Friends

5. PEP 621 - Storing project metadata in pyproject.toml

6. Flit - Build System

7. Poetry - Build System

The course should always be considered one of the first - a “way to work”.

I enjoyed this conversation! It helped to lay a solid foundation to my understanding of installing my own scripts. I did create an entire GitHub Repo to capture the code at the end of most videos.

Nice, glad you enjoyed the conversation @Glenn Lehmann. You can also download the sample code from the Supporting Materials dropdown at the top of the page.

Although that code doesn’t include your detailed Video Time Index :D

Love this course!! 💚🐍 This course is ESSENTIAL for all doing any development work.

NOTE:

If you’re using a Poetry environment, you can install using the command:

poetry add --editable ./myproject

This will add the line (below) to the Poetry pyproject.toml file:

myproject = {path = "myproject", develop = true}

A myproject.egg-info folder will also be generated.

This was excellent. I like this content so much, it is much better than plain videos. Two people discussing new things and it is entertaining as well as enriching. I learned a lot.

Off topic question:

1) How did you made your Powershell prompt that way. Is there any tutorial that can be looked into?

2) I have also seen __init__.py files in many places, what does that do in general?

Pradeep - You can use a PowerShell profile to change your prompt. For information on using profiles, see about Profiles. There is also a section that shows how to Add a customized prompt.

I also enjoyed this conversation. I found this format a little easier to “code-follow” than the other courses. Others sometimes go a little too fast, but I still find them all very useful.

I really enjoyed this course. A lot of great information that isn’t included in standard learning paths.

Excellent course/conversation/tutorial. It answers many issues I have wrestled with regarding python project development since I started using python. Those were serious enough that I finally decided to solve the problem myself before embarking on any large scale project. The “best” solution I found was to bury the problem in a container, which was not a solution at all. I also encountered other solutions in various other states of completion.

This feels good.I was surprised to learn that all the bits required and presented were not fully accepted and implemented until python 12.x, just months ago. That’s ok. There is pile of development/implementation/suport that I don’t have to worry about now.

Hats off to everyone to who worked to achieve this! Have been there and didn’t really want to do it again. Phew!
