Sample setup.py configuration for creating a Python Wheel/Egg

setup.py

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    #this will be the package name you will see, e.g. the output of 'conda list' in anaconda prompt
    name = '<some name of the distribution>', 
    #some version number you may wish to add - increment this after every update
    version='1.0', 
  
    # Use one of the below approach to define package and/or module names:
  
    #if there are only handful of modules placed in root directory, and no packages/directories exist then can use below syntax
#     packages=[''], #have to import modules directly in code after installing this wheel, like import mod2 (respective file name in this case is mod2.py) - no direct use of distribution name while importing
  
    #can list down each package names - no need to keep __init__.py under packages / directories
#     packages=['<list of name of packages>'], #importing is like: from package1 import mod2, or import package1.mod2 as m2
  
    #this approach automatically finds out all directories (packages) - those must contain a file named __init__.py (can be empty)
    packages=find_packages(), #include/exclude arguments take * as wildcard, . for any sub-package names
)
