Distributing your own package on PyPi

In Regular Expressions Demystified I developed a little python package and distributed it via PyPi.

I wanted to publish my second self-written package as well, but coming back after almost a year, some things have changed in the world of PyPi, i.e. the old tutorials aren’t working anymore.

What You have to do is the following thing in a nutshell:

python setup.py sdist
twine upload dist/*

The complete guide can be found here.

pip optional dependencies

Sometimes you want to make your python package usable for different situations, e.g. flask or bottle or django.

If You want to minimize dependencies You can use an optional dependency in setup.py:

extras_require={
 'flask': ['Flask>=0.8', 'blinker>=1.1']
}

Now you can install the library with:

pip install raven[flask]

Numpy linspace function

To create e.g. x-axis indices you can use the linspace function from numpy.

You give it a range (e.g. 0 to 10) and the number of divisions and it will distribute the values evenly across that range. The stop values is included in the resulting value array by default.

Example:

>>import numpy as np
>>np.linspace(0, 10, num=9)
>>array([ 0. , 1.25, 2.5 , 3.75, 5. , 6.25, 7.5 , 8.75, 10. ]
