I am writing a python package which has the following structure
PACKAGE

However the data.cfg should be build at installation time.
Can someone give advise on which packaging tool and how
to use it, to accomplisch this.
A lot of good packaging information can be found at
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/
and in particular at
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/
and
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/overview/
There are a couple of different ways to handle python packaging, and
it can be a bit confusing. But following the tutorial on packaging is
a good start.
Yes it is, but it doesn't answer my question: How do I create a package
in which a file is built at install time.
I just want to build a configuration file that will among some other
info contain the date the package
was installed. The idea is that you can execute python3 -m
<package>.release to know what version
of the package you installed and when you installed it. But seem unable
to find a way to do this.
