Python packages are the fundamental units of shareable code in Python. Packages make it easy to organize, reuse, and maintain your code, as well as share it between projects, with your colleagues, and with the wider Python community. Despite their importance, Python packages can be difficult to understand and cumbersome to create for beginners and seasoned developers alike.
Fortunately, packaging tools exists to streamline the packaging process. This lightening talk discusses an accessible and practical approach to creating packages using modern and mature tools such as poetry, cookiecutter, pytest, sphinx, GitHub, and GitHub Actions!
Disclaimer: this talk is a 2-minute abridged version of our open-source book Python Packages (https://py-pkgs.org).
