Official pip installable package

[MGross21]

I was curious if there are any plans to make this library officially installable such as:

pip install urrtde

This would match the package name in setup.py and would simplify the python venv installation process.

RTDE_Python_Client_Library/setup.py

Line 27 in 647788c

name="UrRtde",

This is certainly interesting concept, and would make it easier to use library as a part of bigger projects.
Originally this library was intended as reference implementation and not component. It has however grown to be a good prototyping tool.

Do you have any experience in publishing to pip repository?
I'd like to get some guidance on the process.

Apologies for the delay in response.

I may be mistaken in this query. Is this library a minimal port of the C++ Client library?

I currently have 3 libraries published to pypi (pip repository). After setting up an account as a maintainer, you can use simple tools such as build and twine to publish the compiled package from a tar file, granted the setup.py file is configured correctly. There are modern tools growing in popularity such as poetry and uv but those involve more complicated setup than what is required in this situation.

As of now, there are unofficial packages (1, 2, 3, 4) and forked (and out-of-date) repositories (1) published as pip packages at the moment. An official python package would be preferred, if possible, even if it isn't necessarily feature complete.
