**Flit** is a simple way to put Python packages and modules on PyPI.
It tries to require less thought about packaging and help you avoid common
mistakes.
See `Why use Flit? <https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rationale.html>`_ for
more about how it compares to other Python packaging tools.
Install
-------
::
$ python3 -m pip install flit
Flit requires Python 3 and therefore needs to be installed using the Python 3
version of pip.
Python 2 modules can be distributed using Flit, but need to be importable on
Python 3 without errors.
Usage
-----
Say you're writing a module ``foobar`` — either as a single file ``foobar.py``,
or as a directory — and you want to distribute it.
1. Make sure that foobar's docstring starts with a one-line summary of what
the module is, and that it has a ``__version__``:
.. code-block:: python
"""An amazing sample package!"""
__version__ = "0.1"
2. Install flit if you don't already have it::
python3 -m pip install flit
3. Run ``flit init`` in the directory containing the module to create a
``pyproject.toml`` file. It will look something like this:
.. code-block:: ini
[build-system]
requires = ["flit_core >=3.2,<4"]
build-backend = "flit_core.buildapi"
[project]
name = "foobar"
authors = [{name = "Sir Robin", email = "robin@camelot.uk"}]
dynamic = ["version", "description"]
[project.urls]
Home = "https://github.com/sirrobin/foobar"
You can edit this file to add other metadata, for example to set up
command line scripts. See the
`pyproject.toml page <https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pyproject_toml.html#scripts-section>`_
of the documentation.
If you have already got a ``flit.ini`` file to use with older versions of
Flit, convert it to ``pyproject.toml`` by running ``python3 -m flit.tomlify``.
4. Run this command to upload your code to PyPI::
flit publish
Once your package is published, people can install it using *pip* just like
any other package. In most cases, pip will download a 'wheel' package, a
standard format it knows how to install. If you specifically ask pip to install
an 'sdist' package, it will install and use Flit in a temporary environment.
To install a package locally for development, run::
flit install [--symlink] [--python path/to/python]
Flit packages a single importable module or package at a time, using the import
name as the name on PyPI. All subpackages and data files within a package are
included automatically.
