This chapter introduced you to some key aspects of application development in general and Python application development in particular. The chapter started with an introduction to different versioning conventions. It demonstrated how to create Python modules and packages.
With step-by-step instructions, the chapter demonstrated how to prepare a distribution (also called a package), deploy it on the PyPI test server, and install this deployed package using pip. Additionally, it also showed you how to make incremental releases and set up a private Python distribution. Finally, the chapter provided an overview of version control using Git.
Coding standards are a set of guidelines that you should follow while developing the code. Complying with these standards can have a significant impact on the code readability and the life of the code. In the next chapter, you will learn another important aspect of software development, code documentation, and best practices.
