# Python Packaging

Turn your Python code into something other people can install

## What this does

You have Python code that works on your machine and other people need to install it. This covers laying the project out, writing the packaging files, and publishing it. Reach for it when you want a library or a command-line tool that someone can just install.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Package a Python library for distribution
- Set up project structure, setup.py or pyproject.toml
- Publish to PyPI

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Python Packaging

This is about making distributable Python packages: getting the project structure right, writing setup.py or pyproject.toml, and publishing to PyPI.

Use it when packaging a library, turning code into a command-line tool, or otherwise getting Python you have written into other people's hands.

## Questions

### Is Python Packaging safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Python Packaging and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit be57c0b2e3c0, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/python-packaging.

### How do I install Python Packaging?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/python-packaging on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/be57c0b2e3c05c528ca6132b87410b385718775f/plugins/python-development/skills/python-packaging. Install from that link, not the branch.
