Development Setup

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/your-org/python-deployment-package.git
cd python-deployment-package

2. Create a virtual environment

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

3. Install in editable mode

pip install -e .

4. Verify the CLI works

acc --help

5. Run tests

pytest tests/ -v

Publishing a New Version

⚠️ PyPI does not allow re-uploading the same version. Always bump the version before building.

Step 1 — Bump the version in pyproject.toml

[project]
version = "0.1.2"   # ← change this

Step 2 — Clean previous builds

rm -rf dist/ build/ src/acc_cli.egg-info

Step 3 — Build the distribution

python3 -m build

This creates two files inside dist/:

• acc_cli-<version>-py3-none-any.whl — binary wheel (fast install)
• acc_cli-<version>.tar.gz — source distribution

Step 4 — Upload to PyPI

python3 -m twine upload dist/*

Twine will use credentials from ~/.pypirc. If that file doesn't exist, it will prompt for your API token.

Setting up ~/.pypirc (one-time)

[distutils]
index-servers = pypi

[pypi]
username = __token__
password = pypi-YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE

Get your API token at https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/ The username must always be __token__ (literally).

Step 5 — Verify on PyPI

https://pypi.org/project/acc-cli/
