Building the Package

Install the required tools:

pip install build

Build the package:

python -m build

This will create .tar.gz and .whl files in the dist/ directory.

Publishing to TestPyPI and PyPI

Create an account on PyPI and TestPyPI.

1. Install Twine:

pip install twine

2. Upload to TestPyPI:

twine upload --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*

3. Upload to PyPI:

twine upload dist/*

Verify the package on PyPI or TestPyPI.

Testing the Package Locally

After building the package, test it locally:

1. Install the package:

pip install dist/sdk_api_package-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

2. Test the library:

from sdk import get_users
get_users()

Automating Deployment with GitHub Actions

You can automate the deployment process using GitHub Actions.

Create a .github/workflows/python-publish.yml file:

name: Publish Python Package

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: 3.x

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          pip install build twine

      - name: Build and publish
        env:
          TWINE_USERNAME: __token__
          TWINE_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PYPI_API_TOKEN }}
        run: |
          python -m build
          twine upload dist/*

Add PyPI Token to GitHub Secrets:

Go to your GitHub repository. Navigate to Settings > Secrets > Actions. Add a new secret with the name PYPI_API_TOKEN and paste your PyPI token.
