BUILD YOUR APP https://github.com/vinu76jsr/django_profiler/blob/master/profiler/mid all the code to write your app, this is a django middleware which intercepts requests and provides cProfile output but that's not important, it is here only as placeholder

SHOW YOUR CONFIDENCE Integration with travis or any other CI Integration with a code coverage metric tools Doesn't matter how you do it, but always a good idea show the metrics -- what's up with the coverage 

WHAT IS WITH THE COVERAGE an acceptable target is 60%+ I used coveralls to show the badge although it's not bulletproof good coverage generally means better tested code and hence lesser bug 

last command picks your version from setup.py and upload it to pypi UPLOAD TO PYPI $ p y t h o n s e t u p . p y r e g i s t e r r u n n i n g r e g i s t e r W e n e e d t o k n o w w h o y o u a r e , s o p l e a s e c h o o s e e i t h e r : 1 . u s e y o u r e x i s t i n g l o g i n , 2 . r e g i s t e r a s a n e w u s e r , 3 . h a v e t h e s e r v e r g e n e r a t e a n e w p a s s w o r d f o r y o u ( a n d e m a i l i t t o y o u ) , o r 4 . q u i t Y o u r s e l e c t i o n [ d e f a u l t 1 ] : 1 $ p y t h o n s e t u p . p y s d i s t u p l o a d 

THAT'S IT Your package is available on PyPI one more thing... 

to preview them DOCUMENTATION Nobody can use your app if they don't know how to README.MD is a good start go to docs folder and write your docs m a k e d o c s 

DOCUMENTATION TIPS Maintain a changelog use sphinx to generate docs and write them in restructured text Add support for readthedocs.org 

ADDING DOCS TO READTHEDOCS If you are using github it's easy peasy add readthedocs webhook in your project register a url in read the docs and point it to readthedocs.org That's it check out django-profiler-docs
