How do I use Flit to publish my Python package on PyPI?

To publish your Python package using Flit, first ensure you have Flit installed. You can install it via pip with pip install flit.

What files do I need to include in my package?

You need to include a pyproject.toml file, which contains metadata about your package, and your source code.

How do I configure the pyproject.toml file?

In the pyproject.toml, specify the package name, version, author, and dependencies. Here's a basic example:

[tool.flit.metadata]
module = "your_module"
author = "Your Name"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "A brief description of your package"

Once everything is set up, how do I publish it?

Run flit publish in your terminal. This will upload your package to PyPI. Make sure you have an account on PyPI and are logged in.
