📦 setup.py (for humans)

=======================

This repo exists to provide [an example setup.py] file, that can be used

to bootstrap your next Python project. It includes some advanced

patterns and best practices for `setup.py`, as well as some

commented–out nice–to–haves.

For example, this `setup.py` provides a `$ python setup.py upload`

command, which creates a *universal wheel* (and *sdist*) and uploads

your package to [PyPi] using [Twine], without the need for an annoying

`setup.cfg` file. It also creates/uploads a new git tag, automatically.

In short, `setup.py` files can be daunting to approach, when first

starting out — even Guido has been heard saying, "everyone cargo cults

thems". It's true — so, I want this repo to be the best place to

copy–paste from :)
