Python- Packaging


the term packaging refers to putting modules you have written in a standard format, so that other programmers can install and use them with ease. 
This involves use of the modules setuptools and distutils

The first step in packaging is to organize existing files correctly. Place all of the files you want to put in a library in the same parent directory. This directory should also contain a file called __init__.py, which can be blank but must be present in the directory.
This directory goes into another directory containing the readme and license, as well as an important file called setup.py.


SoloLearn/
LICENSE.txt
README.txt
setup.py
sololearn/
__init__.py
sololearn.py
sololearn2.py


The next step in packaging is to write the setup.py file. 
This contains information necessary to assemble the package so it can be uploaded to PyPI and installed with pip (name, version, etc.).
