setup.py
- [Instructor] Setup.py is Python's way of defining a project. We import setup from functools and then we read the description from the readme file, and we load the requirements from the files. Requirements-dev and regular requirements. And we also have a utility function to read the version from _init_.py. The final step is calling the setup function. We say the project name is nlp, the version we read from the _init_, the package is nlpy. Entry points which will create a script called nlpd, then what is required for installation and what is required for tests. We have description, a long description, what is the license for the package, and then some information about the project.
