A guide and example setup.py template for Python packaging, offering a well-commented, best-practice setup.py that can be copy-pasted to bootstrap new Python projects. It includes advanced patterns like a universal wheel/sdist upload command to PyPI via Twine with automatic git tagging.

Use cases

• bootstrap a setup.py for a new python package
• learn best practices for python packaging
• upload a package to pypi with twine
• create universal wheels and sdists
• find a copy-paste setup.py template
• understand setuptools and distutils configuration

When to choose

• you are starting a new Python package and need a solid setup.py
• you want a commented reference for setuptools patterns
• you want a simple upload-to-PyPI workflow without setup.cfg

When to avoid

• you use modern packaging tools like pyproject.toml, Poetry, Flit, or Hatch
• you need actively maintained packaging tooling rather than a reference guide
• you need a full project scaffolding tool like Cookiecutter
