Shrinking ML Package Build | Generated by AI

Home 2026.06

Done! Here’s what happened:

RELEASE LIVE: https://github.com/lzwjava/ww/releases/tag/v0.1.0

What was done:

  1. Excluded ww/ml/ from build artifacts
    • ww/ml/ had 133MB of ML datasets/models (.h5, .pkl.gz, .csv, .wav)
    • Added hatch build config in pyproject.toml to exclude it
    • Wheel: 87MB → 713KB, sdist: 87MB → 687KB
  2. Created GitHub Actions release workflow
    • File: .github/workflows/release.yml
    • Triggers on tag push (v*)
    • Builds wheel + sdist with uv build
    • Creates GitHub release with auto-generated release notes
    • Attaches .whl and .tar.gz as downloadable assets
  3. Published v0.1.0 release
    • Tag v0.1.0 created and pushed
    • Release created by github-actions[bot] with both artifacts

How users install:

From GitHub release (download .whl)

pip install ww-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

Or directly from the repo

pip install git+https://github.com/lzwjava/ww.git@v0.1.0

Future releases — just bump version in pyproject.toml and tag:

bump version in pyproject.toml to 0.2.0, commit, then

git tag v0.2.0 git push origin main –tags

The workflow auto-builds and publishes the release.
