If you want to create a package and distribute it like through pip in record time, you can customize my script from cmemgzip for Ubuntu 20.04.

Here is the official documentation if you want to do everything manually:

https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects

Here is the script customized for Test Environment.

You’ll need to create a Test account in test.pypi.org

#!/bin/bash

PACKAGE="cmemgzip-test"
mkdir $PACKAGE
mkdir $PACKAGE/src
mkdir $PACKAGE/src/$PACKAGE
mkdir $PACKAGE/tests

cp LICENSE $PACKAGE/

echo "[build-system]" > $PACKAGE/pyproject.toml
echo "requires = [" >> $PACKAGE/pyproject.toml
echo '    "setuptools>=42",' >> $PACKAGE/pyproject.toml
echo '    "wheel"' >> $PACKAGE/pyproject.toml
echo "]" >> $PACKAGE/pyproject.toml
echo 'build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"' >> $PACKAGE/pyproject.toml

cat <<EOF > $PACKAGE/setup.cfg

python3 -m pip install --upgrade build

# Install dependencies
sudo apt-get install python3.8-venv

python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade twine


echo
echo "Entering into directory $PACKAGE"
cd $PACKAGE

echo
echo "Generating distribution binaries"
python3 -m build

# Create account in: https://test.pypi.org/manage/account/

# Create API Token

echo
echo "Going to upload the packages. Use your username and password"
echo
python3 -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/cmemgzip*

The changes for the script to production are just a different package name, and last line:

python3 -m twine upload --repository pypi dist/cmemgzip*

Obviously you’ll need to use credentials for Production.
