pypi package template

A streamlined template for creating Python packages with an automated CI/CD pipeline.

Features

• Automated publishing to PyPI on GitHub releases
• Version automatically synced from GitHub release tags
• requirements.txt support for project dependencies
• Pre-configured setup with pyproject.toml using PEP 517/518
• Includes build and twine for modern package distribution

Setup Guide

1. Create a new repository from this template

2. Configure your package

   • Update pyproject.toml with your package metadata (name, author, description)
   • Version is automatically set from GitHub release tags during release publishing
   • Edit requirements.txt to include your package dependencies
   • Place your code inside your package folder (e.g., your_package/, in this example summing_lixelv/)

3. Set up CI/CD

   • Generate a PyPI API token: Get PyPI token
   • Add the token as PYPI_TOKEN in GitHub Secrets: Create GitHub secret
   • Replace <YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME> and <YOUR_GITHUB_REPOSITORY> with your actual GitHub account and repository names

4. Release your package

   • Create a GitHub release with a semantic version tag (e.g., v1.0.0)
   • The workflow will automatically update the version, build, and publish your package to PyPI
