This man's brain is running at a frequency that I can't even fathom. Really cool, informative video. Exactly what I'm looking for.

This was extremely more helpful than dealing with StackOverflow jerks. Thank you for this.

@anythonywritescode I liked this video and thought that you did a great job explaining how to do the setup file. I look forward to watching more of your content and learning how to package software correctly.

First I saw the video for 2 minutes, then I realized I also need to watch other things other than the keyboard. So I came to comment this and will continue the video again

[tombraril]

Do you know about poetry and what do you think about such tools?
And for the find packages in setup.cfg you can specify where to look, so you could do a src directory where you put your package( s), no meed to exclude any new or other folders like docs etc.

I am new to python and am trying to get up to speed on it. I understand that we could re-write a setup.cfg file easier than setup.py file, but why would we need to programmatically re-write this data in the first place? Maybe a few example cases when we would need to change this data would be helpful.

A short tutorial on pyscaffold package will be helpful. Could you do one please? Thanks.

[scillabiffolia]

what is the blue icon ad on you have in your browser. how about the one next to it?

[anand]

If we want to declare two setup package in setup.cfg how can we do it. As it will have two "name, version, etc.

[jbrnds]

How would you deal with automating the version in the setup.cfg when building the package if you’d have the version defined somewhere in an <pkgname>/ __version__.py or similar.

[guntbert]

Thx again - these "small" examples/tips are right what I need :thumbsup: !
What is the reason for using `exit(main))` instead of just `main()` in main.py?

[manoharkulat]

hi atually I passed -e . in requirements.txt but I am getting ERROR: File "setup.py" no found.Directory cannot be installed in editable mode.

[meeexy]

how do you include stub (.pyi) files in the package with setuptools

[prafullakh]

Please help me understand the following Python behavior:
def foo():
x = 1024
my_list = [1024]

def helper():
x = 2048
my_list[0] = 2048

return

helper()
print(x) # Stuck at 1024 😞
print(my_list[0]) # Changed to 2048 🙂
return

foo()


Thanks!

Hi. Nice tutorial, how do we handle custom commands via cmdclass in setup.cfg?
