A Python package requires a structured folder containing your code, an __init__.py file to define the package, and other necessary files such as setup.py for configuration.
Start by creating a folder with your package name. Inside, include your Python scripts and the __init__.py file. This file can be empty or contain initialization code.
The setup.py file contains essential information like the package name, version, author, and description. It also handles dependencies and configurations.
Before publishing, test your package locally by installing it using the command pip install . in the package directory to ensure everything works as expected.
Once tested, you can publish your package to the Python Package Index (PyPI). Use tools like twine to upload your package and make it available to the public.
