This tutorial is intended for those that wish to publish a library or libraries to Python Pip repository. Before following this guide, readers should have Python installed, as well as some knowledge of reading and writing Python code. The official getting started documentation from Python, is an excellent resource if statring out or if refreshing one’s knowledge feels needed.

Python Language source may be downloaded from python.org for most Operating Systems, alternatively most Linux distributions have python available via package manager…

## Arch inspired distributions
sudo packman -S python3 python3-pip

## Debian derived distributions
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip

Most, if not all, of the command-line examples will be for a Bash (Born Again SHell) environment, eg…

  • cd ~/somewhere – change directory to somewhere under the current user’s home (~) directory

  • mkdir ~/somewhere/another-thing – make directory under the current user’s home (~) directory with the path of somewhere/another-thing

  • touch ~/somewhere/another-thing/file.ext – update last modified time, or create an empty file, named file.ext under the current user’s home (~) directory with a directory path of somewhere/another-thing

  • Long command-line examples are split using a backslash (\) to escape new-lines, and lines that follow are indented by two spaces ( )…

executable-name --param-one "first modifier"\
  --param-two "second modifier"\
  --flag-one\
  --flag-two

As much as possible, commands specific to Bash will be limited to above examples. Commands for Git and Python code examples should otherwise be environment agnostic so long as your device has applications and dependencies installed.
