is there a tutorial for creating packages in python?

[krishnakant Mane]

hello all,
I have got a lot of sets of functions and classes that do related
work.  so just like we get python libraries I too need to create such
libraries often called packages.
I want to put my code to re-use so will create these libraries and put
in the site-libs folder.
can any one suggest me a good tutorial on line which can teach me to
develop python packages and modules and most importantly to put them
in libraries?
I saw the official python tutorial and I think chapter 6 has quite a
bit on that.
but not what I could term as some thing complete in knowledge that one
needs to create libraries as huge as wxpython etc.

thanking all.
Krishnakant.

I'm not sure what you are after. There is not much to say about building
python packages. I imagine that the important stuff should be in there
(I have not checked!).

If you are looking for ways to distribute your package look at distutils
or setuptools.

wxPython is a C (or rather C++) extension (in contrast to a pure Python
package). For C bindings there are several choices, Python C API, SWIG
and ctypes come to mind. For C++ there i Boost.Python. For the usual
packaging work you would use dsitutlis.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Python_Programming/Extending_with_C gives a
short introduction on how to getting started.
