Compiling a Python library
Creating a Python library involves packaging your code in a way that allows others to easily install, import, and use it in their projects. To convert your code into a Python library, follow these steps:
- Organize your code: Ensure our code is well-organized and follows the package structure:
portscanner/ |-- portscanner/ | |-- __init__.py | |-- portscanner.py |-- setup.py |-- README.md
The components of a Python library are as follows:
portscanner/
: The main folder containing your packageportscanner/__init__.py
: An empty file indicating thatportscanner
is a Python packageportscanner/scanner.py
: YourPortScanner
class and related functionssetup.py
: The script for packaging and distributing your libraryREADME.md
: Documentation explaining how to use your library
- Update setup.py:
1. from setuptools import setup 2. 3. setup( 4. name='portscanner', 5. &...
