Packaging Django Apps for Distribution on PyPI
summary
Concrete steps for packaging a reusable Django app: use a src layout so tests exercise the installed package, declare metadata and deps with setuptools and follow PEP 440 for versions, build both wheel and source sdist, verify included files with check-manifest, and upload securely with twine (try the PyPI sandbox first). Document install, supported Django/Python versions, public API and templates, include tests, tag releases on a code host, and be prepared to maintain releases.
