bookWhy Packaging Matters

Prerequisites

Note
Definition

Packaging in Python is the process of organizing your code into a standardized structure, defining its dependencies and metadata, and preparing it so it can be easily installed, shared, and reused across different environments and projects.

When you want to share Python code or reuse it across projects, sending a folder of scripts is often not enough. Without a clear structure, defined dependencies, and an easy way to install the code, collaboration becomes difficult and error-prone.

Packaging solves this by organizing your code, listing its requirements, and providing a standard way to distribute and install it. This makes your code reusable, easy to share, and reliable to install for teammates, contributors, and automated systems.

Packaging is not only for large projects. Even small scripts benefit from it because packaging encourages good practices and makes future growth easier. In real-world scenarios, packaging is essential for:

Without packaging, code sharing is error-prone and inefficient. With packaging, you gain consistency, discoverability, and the ability to leverage Python's vast ecosystem of package management tools.
