Python Developer Tooling Handbook

README.md

👋 Hey, I'm Tim Hopper!

Welcome to the GitHub compaion to the Python Developer Tooling Handbook. This handbook covers a wide range of topics for Python developers, including build tools, linting, formatting, dependency management, virtual environments, and more.

Example Python Package Repos

In recent years, Python has evolved its package-building capabilities beyond just setup.py (setuptools/distutils). These modern tools offer a wealth of features and use cases, which I'll delve into in the book. Each tool enables you to structure a Python program that can be easily built into a wheel or sdist for sharing on PyPI.

Explore these example repositories to see how these tools can be used:
