If you write something, and you want to share with the world. And let others use through pip install, you can upload your package to pypi.

Create project layout

Put your code in some fold like douban. Write your own setup.py to give basic info about this lib or package. And you can put a README.md file and LICENSE file

douban-dl/
	LICENSE.txt
	README.md
	setup.py
	douban/
		__init__.py
		__main__.py
		other_packages.py

Create setup.py to describe project

setup file often used to describe your project, you can have a template like this:

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

def readme():
	with open('README.md') as f:
		return f.read()

requirements = [
	"bs4",
	"requests"
]

setup(
	name='douban-dl',
	version='0.0.1',
	description='',
	long_description=readme(),
	packages=['douban',],
	url="https://github.com/einverne/douban-dl",
	author="einverne",
	author_email="[email protected]",
	entry_points={
		'console_scripts': [
			'douban-dl = douban.__main__:main',
		]},
	keywords="douban downloader",
	packages=find_packages(exclude=["tests"]),
	license='MIT',
    install_requires=requirements,
)

Create .pypirc file

Register your own account at https://pypi.python.org/pypi. And create following file under ~/.pypirc.

[distutils]
index-servers =
  pypi
  testpypi

[pypi]
username: einverne
password: password

[testpypi]
repository: https://test.pypi.org/legacy
username: einverne
password: password

Upload your first release

Use following command to create a compressed archive file which is under dist sub-directory. This file will wrap-up all project’s source code.

python setup.py sdist

And upload

python setup.py sdist [bdist_wininst] upload

this command upload archive file to pypi. bdist_wininst option alse create windows distribution.

All above had beed tested by myself -> https://pypi.python.org/pypi/douban-dl
