The first thing to be aware of is: Distributing your Python software has been a terrible mess for years, but is getting better steadily because of the sustained efforts of many. As a corollary: You will find a lot of bad advice and confusing contradictions on the internet about how to distribute your Python software. Be aware that, more than many other technical topics, you will find *badly misguided* and *outdated* advice from your web searches. That only gets better by promoting better information, which itself requires that information to be collated. So the second thing to know is: Those efforts have a clearing house of the current best information, at the Python Packaging Authority <URL:https://packaging.python.org/distributing/>. Today, that is the first place to start reading about this topic. -- \ “A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.” | `\ —Oscar Wilde, _The Portrait of Mr. W.
