pip-hello-world

0.1 · maintenance · verified Sat Apr 11

pip-hello-world is a minimalist Python package, version 0.1, released in March 2017. It serves primarily as a 'Hello World' example for demonstrating basic setuptools packaging and installation via pip. Due to its age and simple nature, it offers very limited functionality and is primarily for educational or testing purposes of the packaging process rather than practical application. The project has not seen updates since its initial release.

Warnings

gotcha The pip-hello-world package on PyPI is extremely old (last updated March 2017) and serves as a very basic packaging example. Its functionality is minimal and it is unlikely to be useful for modern development.
Fix: Consider using more actively maintained 'hello world' examples from packaging guides (e.g., Python Packaging User Guide) for learning modern packaging practices, as this package reflects older practices.
gotcha The exact import path and available functions for pip-hello-world (PyPI version) are not clearly documented. The provided quickstart assumes a common pattern for simple packages (e.g., 'from pip_hello_world import hello_world_function').
Fix: If the quickstart fails, you may need to inspect the package's `tar.gz` distribution file manually to determine its internal structure and API, as direct usage documentation is scarce. It might also be a placeholder package with no functional code.

Install

pip install pip-hello-world Install stable version

Imports

hello_world_function
```
from pip_hello_world import hello_world_function
```
Assumed common pattern for a simple 'hello world' package. The exact function name is not explicitly documented for this PyPI package.

Quickstart

This quickstart attempts to import a common 'hello_world_function' and execute it. The exact API for this very old and minimal package is not explicitly documented, so this is based on typical 'hello world' patterns. If this fails, the package might have a different entry point or be a placeholder.

try:
    from pip_hello_world import hello_world_function
    print(hello_world_function())
except ImportError:
    print("pip_hello_world not installed or import path incorrect.")
except AttributeError:
    print("Function 'hello_world_function' not found in pip_hello_world. Check package contents.")
