Publish a package
Turn menu.py into a Python package and upload it to PyPI. Choose a name based on your name or initials followed by “menu” to reduce name collisions. section 9.9
How Python Workout, Second Edition covers it
How deep it goes
Connects package creation with uploading to PyPI, but stops short of upload commands or release mechanics.
Examples
Uses menu.py as a package-publication exercise and recommends a name based on the creator’s initials.
What it assumes
Assumes familiarity with Python modules, imports, and invoking programs from the command line.
What you can do after
Build it from scratch by turning menu.py into a package and uploading it to PyPI.
How it connects
Connects Python packages with modules, imports, command-line execution, and open-source projects.
