## Description

This project is a reference implementation and tutorial designed to demonstrate the end-to-end workflow of building, versioning, and uploading Python distributions. It serves as a concrete project template and example for configuring metadata and build artifacts for package indices.

The repository illustrates how to package software by defining project metadata and dependencies in static configuration files. It covers the process of transforming source trees into versioned archives and platform-specific binary distributions, specifically showing how to build binary wheels and source distributions.

The project covers broader capability areas including dependency management, the creation of command-line interfaces, and the automation of release publishing to repositories. It also demonstrates the use of isolated virtual environments and the integration of binary extensions.
