PyPI release?

[aclark4life]

This looks cool! Have you considered doing a PyPI release? Need any help with that?

Wait, oh my god! I can't believe that it's the creator of Pillow himself. Yes, I do plan to release it in PyPi and put it on a website, maybe! Haha, there is a lot of work to do.

But I'm really glad that you took your time out and checked my project out. This means a lot to me ❤️

Oh of course yes, if you want to help me out, that'll be awesome!

Just my two cents, but pipx + github might be a better choice for this - no need to mess around PyPI stuff, mess with releases (releases don't make much sense for a thing like this imho), and it feels nicer too.
(Also hola myst ! Nice to see stuff going well here - I'll be free to jump here in two weeks or so.)

Hmm this makes sense to me, but what about those people who wants to use it as a module?

[Magniquick]

who would though ?
It's supposed to be a self contained app right ?
also, pip can do it from git repos too iirc.

Hmm sounds good to em :)), I'll start working on that

I would still love a PyPI release! My kingdom for pip install beatprints or if I wanted isolation, I'd install it with pipx install beatprints.

I would like to release it as pipx tool. Though I need some help if you want it as a pip package :))

I'll be really glad to see the support for that.

Hello! 👋

I like this project too, and would love to see it as a pypi-release!

There is some great documentation on how to do this here.

But in short:

• Converting the package to one managed by Poetry might be a good first step:
  https://python-poetry.org/
  This will allow you to run poetry build to generate distributions (which is what you upload to PyPi).

• You can then use a GitHub action for instance, I use this one (https://github.com/pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish), to push new versions of your package to PyPi on release. You can see an example here.

@qTipTip Thank you! I’ve been a bit tied up lately, but I’ll publish it as soon as I can.

Great! 🥳

You can also define an entrypoint in the scripts field in the pyproject.toml: https://python-poetry.org/docs/pyproject/#scripts

So, you can execute the CLI by running:

beatprints

instead of

python3 prompt.py

for instance.

Perfect, I'm free now. I'll start working on it!
