provide setup.py

[zink-chimaera]

For automatic installation and requirement management a setup.py would be a nice enhancement for people not that familiar with python or that can't (or just won't) RTFM. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've never used those; I'll look into it. Is that a prerequisite for pypi?

I've never published a package on pypi but as far as I know, yes [1]. This enables installing your code into your interpreter, i.e. via pip.

Here is an untested MWE. If you'd like to test it, just add it as setup.py to $project_folder and install it via

pip install -e $project_folder

-e leaves a reference to your folder so you can still edit your code without needing to reinstall

setup.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-


import os
from setuptools import setup, find_packages


def read(file_name):
    return open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), file_name)).read()

setup(
    name="humble_downloader",  # your package name (i.e. for import)
    version="1.33.7",
    maintainer="Mayeul Cantan",
    maintainer_email="your@mail.org",
