Create a Python Package From Zero to Hero
summary
Shows an end-to-end path from zero lines of code to a pip-installable package: documentation-driven design, API sketching, building a wheel in dist, and publishing with pyproject.toml metadata. Demonstrates concrete commands like UV sync, UV build, and UV publish to TestPyPI then PyPI, creating an API token and optionally using trusted publishing via GitHub Actions Google Cloud or GitLab CI CD. Mentions a real example package (Lauren the Fourth) and recommends TestPyPI dry runs.
