Overview

A packaging mechanism that compiles source code into distributable artifacts (sdist and wheel) for PyPI upload.

Description

Distribution Build uses the Python build system (hatchling backend) to produce two distribution formats: a source distribution (sdist .tar.gz) and a wheel (.whl). The build reads the version from weave/version.py and packages only the weave/ directory, excluding tests, examples, and documentation.

Usage

Run this step after pushing commits and tags, immediately before uploading to PyPI.

Theoretical Basis

Python packaging follows PEP 517/518:

Build backend: Defined in pyproject.toml (hatchling).
Source distribution: Complete source code package.
Wheel: Pre-built distribution for faster installation.
Version: Read from weave/version.py via [tool.hatch.version] configuration.
