How do I create a pip installable project?

Question

How do I create a pip installable project? How do you register with pip?

What meta data config should all projects have in order to allow integration and easy import.

Answer 1

I wish PasteScript did the job because it seems straightforward but it simply didn't work for me. I got my code uploaded to the pip repository with Peter Down's quick but well-explained tutorial.

Also, remember that if you are trying to have your code import from the package, you have to put it in __init__.py, which is sufficient for most projects.
