| 4a8e9a | 7 | Once your application works properly, you can create a "tarball" from it by |
| SP | 8 | using the ``setup.py sdist`` command. The following commands assume your |
| 5d9fd5 | 9 | current working directory contains the ``tutorial`` package and the |
| SP | 10 | ``setup.py`` file. |

| CM | 12 | On UNIX: |

| bad5f3 | 14 | .. code-block:: bash |
| e53e13 | 15 | |
| f73f0e | 16 | $ $VENV/bin/python setup.py sdist |

| CM | 18 | On Windows: |
| 19 | ||
| a651b3 | 20 | .. code-block:: doscon |
| e53e13 | 21 | |
| beb4f1 | 22 | c:\tutorial> %VENV%\Scripts\python setup.py sdist |
| e53e13 | 23 | |
| CM | 24 | The output of such a command will be something like: |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | .. code-block:: text | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | running sdist | |
| bad5f3 | 29 | # more output |
| e53e13 | 30 | creating dist |
| bad5f3 | 31 | Creating tar archive |
| 4a8e9a | 32 | removing 'tutorial-0.0' (and everything under it) |
| e53e13 | 33 | |
| 4a8e9a | 34 | Note that this command creates a tarball in the "dist" subdirectory named |
| SP | 35 | ``tutorial-0.0.tar.gz``. You can send this file to your friends to show them |
| 36 | your cool new application. They should be able to install it by pointing the | |
| 1117bc | 37 | ``pip install`` command directly at it. Or you can upload it to `PyPI |
| 7e2cc0 | 38 | <https://pypi.org/>`_ and share it with the rest of the world, where |
| 1cb30e | 39 | it can be downloaded via ``pip install`` remotely like any other package people |
| 4a8e9a | 40 | download from PyPI. |
