Python Packaging Authority

The Python Packaging Authority (PyPA) is a working group that maintains a core set of software projects used in Python packaging.

• The PyPA publishes the Python Packaging User Guide, which is the authoritative resource on how to package, publish, and install Python projects using current tools. The User Guide provides a user introduction to packaging, and explains how to use these tools.
• For a listing of PyPA’s important projects, see the key projects list. The PyPA hosts projects on GitHub and Bitbucket, and discusses issues in the Packaging category on discuss.python.org and on the distutils-sig mailing list.
