Clear message

Welcome to my page.

I have a few questions that I've been unable to find answer for.

All the documentation I've seen seems to assume that someone wanting to publish Python modules has -- and knows how to use -- a 24/7 file server available to use.

This is not always the case.

Further, I have found the documentation on distributing Python modules to be strong on the mechanicals of how to PACKAGE modules [somewhat over-kill, I think, for simple drop-in single-file modules], and nearly non-existant on how to PUBLISH them.

Could someone please write a page on ["How to publish Python modules"] that is understandable by someone with significant *computer* experience but minimal *internet* experience?

Hi Iwick, before I answer some of your questions, I'd like you to consider RealNamesPlease. It is one of our WikiGuidelines, and it has worked well for us so far.

I'm not completely sure what you mean by publishing Python modules. If you need a space to upload your Python modules, you might want to consider StarshipPython. It used to be free for PSA members, but the PSA has ceased to exist, so I guess a small donation to the PythonSoftwareFoundation will do now. Would that solve your problem?

Possibly. I've written a few useful-to-me modules that I think others might also find useful. I'd like to share them, but I am NOT on-line 24/7, and would like someone to host them for downloading. As for WikiNames, would LWickJr do? If so, how do I change it? -- ["lwickjr"]

With a real name I meant the one in your passport, not capitalizing your nick into a WikiName. Changing it is easy: just create the new page and cut all content from this page into it. Then delete this page and log in using your new name. -- JohannesGijsbers


My more-interesting modules [by the way, how do I link to a Wiki page with text that doesn't match the destination page's name?] include "Alias", "Edit", and "UT". I'll add others to this page as I have opportunity [the machine I'm typing this on isn't my home system].
