Nit: Maybe this step also deserves its name to be consistent with the rest of the steps?

Which branch gets checked out? The default branch?

A name can be added to this step for added clarity 👍

Fair question about which version of the code gets used, took me a bit to find more info on that when I first was getting into it. Basically when a github action gets triggered it will use the git_sha given by that trigger. In the case of the release trigger, it will use the git_sha in the release which should correspond to the version we want to release.
If you want to read more into here, I found the following articles helpful:

Does this also install our own dependencies such as requests? Or, they don't even need to be installed to build the distribution?

I'm not sure 🤔 I haven't seen any docs saying I need to install packages ahead of time, my guess is that the upload / build doesn't require installing dependencies, but let me see if I can find some documentation that explicitly mentions this.

Ok so from quickly testing it out on the legacy pypi server, it seems having the dependencies installed locally is not required for packaging. That's pretty neat!

Rebased because I wanted to format the first commit to have yaml that didn't look ugly. Should be good to go now |
What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Feature related to #6.
What is the current behavior?
Currently the release process is as follows:
setup.py.While this is ok, there are a lot of manual steps to this which could fail due to a manual error.
What is the new behavior?
With github actions, whenever a new release is created for the repository, this github action will trigger and try to build and deploy the package to pypi. The build will use the code based on the git sha of the release.
This change will still require the manual process of upgrading the version number in setup.py before releasing, but it at least removes the manual steps of having to build and deploy the project.
Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No breaking changes to the project 🎉
