Create python package (Created on 2024-03-08)

Make a built distribution package to github

1. Create a repo at https://github.com/yes4me/hello_world_python
2. run the following command

cd my_package
pip install wheel
python setup.py bdist_wheel
copy ./dist/*.whl .
git init
git add *.whl
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/yes4me/hello_world_python.git
git push

Install package

1. Create run_hello_world.py

   from hello_module import say_hello
   
   say_hello()
   

2. Create requirements.txt, with either:

   git+https://github.com/yes4me/hello_world_python.git

   git+https://github.com/yes4me/hello_world_python.git@[branch_name]

3. Either:

   • cmd: pip install .\hello_world-1.0-py3-none-any.whl
   • cmd: pip install pip install https://github.com/yes4me/hello_world_python/raw/main/dist/hello_world-1.0-py3-none-any.whl

4. cmd: python run_hello_world.py

Uninstall package

• cmd: pip uninstall -y hello-world

References

• Uploading the package to a testing location

PS: You cannot do pip uninstall -r requirements.txt -y. This is because pip installs packages from Git repositories in editable mode (-e), and there isn't a straightforward way to uninstall packages installed in editable mode.
