Training

1) It is necessary that the code is not executed when importing

2) Decide how you want to distribute. Options: file archive, python package with installation file, source code.

3) Write the documentation, it is possible to do it right in the code.

4) Bring code to PEP standards

Packaging

1) Archive option. Pack in zip, tar.gz. Share on stable hosting. That's all.

2) Source code. It is convenient to use specialized platforms such as github, bitbucket. Benefits. It is possible to receive a reverse response. Changes are visible.

3) Installation package. Minimum package structure . Spread on pypi python.

Naturally, all options can be combined if necessary.
