Further reading

That brings us to the end of our packaging journey. We will finish this chapter with a few links to resources where you can read more about packaging:

• The Python Packaging Authority's Packaging History page (https://www.pypa.io/en/latest/history/) is a useful resource for understanding the evolution of Python packaging.
• The Python Packaging User Guide (https://packaging.python.org/) has useful tutorials and guides, as well as a packaging glossary, links to packaging specifications, and a summary of various interesting projects related to packaging.
• The setuptools documentation (https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/) contains a lot of useful information.

As you read these (and other packaging resources), it is worth bearing in mind that PEP 517 and PEP 518 were only finalized a few years ago and much of the available documentation still refers to older ways of doing things.
