How should I structure my Python library's directory?

A typical Python library structure includes directories like src, tests, and files like setup.py and README.md. Would you like a detailed example?

Yes, please provide a detailed example.

Sure! A common structure looks like this:

my_library/
│
├── src/
│   └── my_library/
│       ├── __init__.py
│       └── module.py
│
├── tests/
│   └── test_module.py
│
├── setup.py
└── README.md

This layout separates your source code from tests and includes essential files.

What is the purpose of each of these files?

The src directory contains your library code, tests holds your test cases, setup.py is for packaging, and README.md provides documentation.
