How can I automate my Python package releases?

You can automate your Python package releases using tools like GitHub Actions, Travis CI, or CircleCI. Would you like to know how to set up one of these?

Yes, can you explain how to set it up with GitHub Actions?

Sure! First, create a .github/workflows directory in your repository. Then, add a YAML file to define your workflow. You can specify triggers, like pushing to the main branch, and define jobs to build and publish your package.

What should I include in the YAML file?

In the YAML file, include steps for checking out your code, setting up Python, installing dependencies, and finally, using twine to upload your package to PyPI.

Can you provide a sample YAML configuration?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

name: Publish Package
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: '3.8'
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          python -m pip install --upgrade pip
          pip install -r requirements.txt
      - name: Publish to PyPI
        run: |
          python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
          twine upload dist/*
        env:
          TWINE_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.PYPI_USERNAME }}
          TWINE_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PYPI_PASSWORD }}
