Packaging in Python is one place where the common adage "There should be one and preferably only one obvious way to do it" doesn't seem to apply. There are a lot of choices to make when publishing python code. What is absolutely essential and what is optional?
The Python packaging landscape is experiencing a renaissance but along with new standards and new tools comes a lot of new choices when publishing. setup.cfg or pyproject.toml? Do you need a setup.py instead or in addition? There can be a lot of confusion but understanding modern trends can make sharing your code easier than ever before.

I am a long time Python developer of almost a decade. For most of that time I have used the language to drive systems programs in and on top of C. Python is a diverse and quickly growing community and I love to contribute to it even as I try to keep up. I currently help ActiveState deliver secure, pre-build python projects to enterprise customers and individual developers.
