***********************************
Part V - Packaging and Distribution
***********************************

In Part V you will learn about Python packaging and the various methods to distribute your code. You will learn about the following:

 - How to create a module and package
 - Publishing your Packages to the Python Packaging Index (PyPI)
 - Python eggs
 - Python wheels 
 - py2exe
 - bb_freeze
 - cx_Freeze
 - PyInstaller
 - GUI2Exe
 - How to Create an Installer with InnoSetup
 
The first chapter of this section describes how to create a module or package. Then in the following chapter, we will go over publishing our package to PyPI. Next up, we will learn how to create and install a Python egg and the Python wheel. 

The next four chapters will cover how to create binaries using the following 3rd party packages: py2exe, bb_freeze, cx_Freeze and PyInstaller. The only package in this list that is actually compatible with Python 3 is cx_Freeze. Because of this fact, we will be showing Python 2 examples in these four chapters so that we can easily compare all 4 packages and their capabilities.

The next to last chapter will show you how to use GUI2Exe, a neat little user interface that was created to go on top of py2exe, bb_freeze, etc. GUI2Exe makes creating binaries even easier!

The last chapter of this section will show how to create an installer using InnoSetup. Let's get started!
