Python Packaging with pyproject.toml

Tired of managing scattered configuration files and legacy setup scripts for your Python projects? Transitioning to pyproject.toml simplifies your workflow by consolidating build settings, dependencies, and tool configurations into a single, standardized file. This text-only course guides you through the modern Python packaging ecosystem. You will start with the fundamental concepts of packaging, learn how the Python import system interacts with your project structure, and write clean, standard-compliant configuration files that work seamlessly with modern build backends. What you will learn: 1. Understand the core concepts of Python packaging, build backends, and modern standards. 2. Configure metadata, dependencies, and entry points inside a single pyproject.toml file. 3. Manage project environments and dependencies using modern packaging tools. 4. Build source distributions and wheel files ready for distribution. 5. Practice structuring your code for reliable local editable installs and clean imports. 6. Integrate tool configurations for testing and formatting directly into your project file. The course begins with essential packaging terminology and directory layouts before moving step-by-step through configuring metadata, defining dependencies, and executing builds. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate Python developers who want to professionalize their project setups. No prior packaging experience is required, though a basic familiarity with writing Python code is recommended. Start organizing your Python projects with modern packaging standards today.
