What is the best way to structure a package in Python?

A well-structured Python package typically includes a directory with an init.py file, submodules, and a setup.py for installation.

Can you give me an example of a simple package structure?

Sure! A simple package structure might look like this:

my_package/
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── module1.py
    ├── module2.py
    └── tests/
        └── test_module1.py

This includes the main package directory, modules, and a tests subdirectory.

What should I include in the setup.py file?

The setup.py file should include metadata like the package name, version, author, description, and dependencies. Here's a basic example:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='my_package',
    version='0.1',
    author='Your Name',
    description='A simple example package',
    packages=['my_package'],
    install_requires=[],
)
