## What it is
The official PyPA sample project demonstrating how to package and distribute Python projects using pyproject.toml. It serves as a companion example for the Python Packaging User Guide's distribution tutorial.

## Use cases
- learn how to package a python project
- example pyproject.toml for pypi distribution
- template for creating a new python package
- understand python packaging metadata
- follow the python packaging user guide tutorial
- see how to publish a package to pypi

## When to choose
- you are new to Python packaging and want a canonical, maintained example
- you need a minimal pyproject.toml reference to copy from
- you are following the PyPUG packaging tutorial

## When to avoid
- you need production best practices for testing, CI, or documentation tooling
- you want a full-featured cookiecutter template with linting and automation
- you need packaging guidance for non-Python ecosystems

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation, package-manager
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials, programming-languages
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: python-packaging, pyproject-toml, pypi, setuptools, sample-project, tutorial
