This is more of a poetry question than tap, but... How do you make a pip package suitable for upload? We have our own CI pipeline that creates pip packages and uploads them to our private pip registry on Gitlab, using twine. It uses the canonical

python 3 setup.py sdist bdist bdist_egg

to produce the packages. However, since Meltano uses poetry I'd want to use however packages are created to make them most useful for others. Can someone point me to how packages should be created for taps/targets with poetry, or should I just stick with what works for us?

I run

poetry build

, then

poetry publish

poetry publish publish's my tap to PyPi. Super easy, I think under the hood it uses

python 3 setup.py sdist bdist bdist_egg

Thanks!

I think it's just

sdist

, and

bdist

no egg. Could probably be added 🤷

If you're using GitHub there's even a nice action you can leverage like here: https://github.com/MeltanoLabs/tap-dbt/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml#L34-L38

We use Gitlab, but I have a working CI that uses Poetry.
