Python packaging is complicated, has many components, can be intimidating to anyone new... and over the last few years has seen blossom a large ecosystem of projects that aim to making the experience easier, which creates another problem. Which of them should you use?

This talk is an introduction to (modern) Python packaging workflows, it will teach you the basic steps of packaging a Python project, and then help you make sense of all the available tools, so that you can decide which one(s) fit your workflow the best.

The author of this talk has been involved in the Python packaging ecosystem for several years, and is currently working on improving the packaging standards to ensure better intercompatibility of tools, and expand the standards to support additional workflows (eg. cross-compilation).
