Next Steps

The goal of this project is to help a Python package start with all the pieces that are normally left for later. This will ensure you build software that can be installed, documented,and maintained over time.

PyCharm and Build

Open this new project up in Pycharm. Look at the Run Configurations (drop down with “play button” [1])

Build Setup Wheel

Locate the Run configuration by this name and run it. You will get a /dist folder created in your file structure and a wheel file (whl extension) is built. This can then be uploaded to test PyPi.

Build Sphinx Docs

Locate the Run configuration by this name and run it. You will get html files built in the /docs folder. Visit that folder and open index.html in a browser and check it out.

Install your project

You already have a project that you can install. That’s the whole point of this thing.

Assumptions

• You understand we are showing windows here; everyone else does linux
• There’s a Python installation such as C:Python37
• We want to install this application to C:apps{{project_name}}
