+
+## Use Cases
+
+### 1) Publishing a Subfolder from src/ in a Monorepo
+
+If you have a monorepo structure with multiple packages in `src/`:
+
+```
+project/
+├── src/
+│   ├── core_package/
+│   │   ├── __init__.py
+│   │   ├── core.py
+│   │   └── README.md
+│   ├── api_package/
+│   │   ├── __init__.py
+│   │   ├── api.py
+│   │   └── README.md
+│   └── utils_package/
+│       ├── __init__.py
+│       ├── utils.py
+│       └── README.md
+├── shared/
+│   └── common.py
+└── pyproject.toml
+```
+
+You can build and publish any subfolder from `src/` as a standalone package:
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to the subfolder you want to publish
+cd src/api_package
+
+# Build and publish to TestPyPI with version 1.2.0
+python-package-folder --publish testpypi --version 1.2.0
+
+# Or publish to PyPI with a custom package name
+python-package-folder --publish pypi --version 1.2.0 --package-name "my-api-package"
+
+# Include a specific dependency group from the parent pyproject.toml
+python-package-folder --publish pypi --version 1.2.0 --dependency-group "dev"
+```
+
+The tool will automatically:
+1. Detect the project root (where `pyproject.toml` is located)
+2. Use `src/api_package` as the source directory
+3. Copy any external dependencies (like `shared/common.py`) into the package before building
+4. Use the subfolder's README if present, or create a minimal one
+5. Create a temporary `pyproject.toml` with the subfolder's package name and version
+6. Build and publish the package
+7. Clean up all temporary files and restore the original `pyproject.toml`
+
+This is especially useful for monorepos where you want to publish individual packages independently while sharing common code.
+
+
+### 2) Building Packages with Shared Code
+
+If your project structure looks like this:
+
+```
+project/
+├── src/
+│   └── my_package/
+│       └── main.py
+├── shared/
+│   ├── utils.py
+│   └── helpers.py
+└── pyproject.toml
+```
+
+And `main.py` imports from `shared/`:
+
+```python
+from shared.utils import some_function
+from shared.helpers import Helper
+```
+
+This package will automatically:
+1. Detect that `shared/` is outside `src/`
+2. Copy `shared/` into `src/` before building
+3. Build your package with all dependencies included
+4. Clean up the copied files after build
+
+
+## Features
+
+- **Subfolder Build Support**: Build subfolders as separate packages with automatic project root detection
+  - Creates any needed file for publishing automatically, cleaning up if not originally in the subfolder after the build/publish process. E.g. copies external dependencies into the source directory before build and cleans them up afterward; temporary `__init__.py` creation for non-package subfolders; uses subfolder README if present, otherwise creates minimal README
+  - Automatic package name derivation from subfolder name
+  - Dependency group selection: specify which dependency group from parent `pyproject.toml` to include.
+  
+- **Smart Import Classification and analysis**:
+  - Recursively parses all `.py` files to detect `import` and `from ... import ...` statements
+  - Handles external dependencies (modules and files that originate from outside the main package directory), and distinguishes standard library imports, 3rd-party packages (from site-packages), local/external/relative/ambiguous imports.
+
+- **Idempotent Operations**: Safely handles repeated runs without duplicating files
+- **Build Integration**: Seamlessly integrates with build tools like `uv build`, `pip build`, etc.
+- **Version Management**: 
+  - Set static versions for publishing (PEP 440 compliant)
+  - Temporarily override dynamic versioning during builds
+  - Automatic restoration of dynamic versioning after build
+- **Package Publishing**:
+  - Uses twine to publish the built folder/subfolder 
+  - Handles publishing to to PyPI, TestPyPI, or Azure Artifacts, with interactive credential prompts, secure storage support
+
+
+## Installation and requirements
+
+Python >= 3.11 is required.
+
+```bash
+uv add python-package-folder
+
+# or
+
+pip install python-package-folder
+```
+
+**Note**: For publishing functionality, you'll also need `twine`:
+
+```bash
+pip install twine
+# or
+uv add twine
+```
+
+**For secure credential storage**: `keyring` is optional but recommended (install with `pip install keyring`)
+
+
+## Quick Start
+
+The simplest way to use this package is via the command-line interface
+
+**Build/publish a specific subfolder in a repository**
+
+Useful for monorepos containing many subfolders that may need publishing as stand-alone packages for external usage.
+
+```bash
+# First cd to the specific subfolder
+cd src/subfolder_to_build_and_publish
+
+# Build and publish any subdirectory of your repo to TestPyPi (https://test.pypi.org/) 
+python-package-folder --publish testpypi --version 0.0.2
+
+# Only analyse (no building)
+cd src/subfolder_to_build_and_publish
+python-package-folder --analyze-only
+
+# Only build
+cd src/subfolder_to_build_and_publish
+python-package-folder
+
+# Build with automatic dependency management
+python-package-folder --build-command "uv build"
+```
+
+You can also target a specific subfolder via commandline, rather than `cd`ing there:
+
+```python
+# Specify custom project root and source directory
+python-package-folder --project-root /path/to/project --src-dir /path/to/src --build-command "pip build"
+```
+
+## How does `python-package-folder` work?
+
+
+### Build Process
+
+1. **Import Extraction**: Uses Python's AST module to parse all `.py` files and extract import statements
+2. **Classification**: Each import is classified as:
+   - **stdlib**: Standard library modules
+   - **third_party**: Packages installed in site-packages
+   - **local**: Modules within the source directory
+   - **external**: Modules outside source directory but in the project
+   - **ambiguous**: Cannot be resolved
+3. **Dependency Resolution**: For external imports, the tool resolves the file path by checking:
+   - Parent directories of the source directory
+   - Project root and its subdirectories
+   - Relative import paths
+4. **File Copying**: External dependencies are temporarily copied into the source directory
+5. **Build Execution**: Your build command runs with all dependencies in place
+6. **Cleanup**: All temporarily copied files are removed after build
+
+### Publishing Process
+
+1. **Build Verification**: Ensures distribution files exist in the `dist/` directory
+2. **File Filtering**: Automatically filters distribution files to only include those matching the current package name and version (prevents uploading old artifacts)
+3. **Credential Management**: 
+   - Prompts for credentials if not provided
+   - Uses `keyring` for secure storage (if available)
+   - Supports both username/password and API tokens
+   - Auto-detects API tokens and uses `__token__` as username
+4. **Repository Configuration**: Configures the target repository (PyPI, TestPyPI, or Azure)
+5. **Upload**: Uses `twine` to upload distribution files to the repository
+6. **Verification**: Confirms successful upload
+
+### Subfolder Build Process
+
+1. **Project Root Detection**: Searches parent directories for `pyproject.toml`
+2. **Source Directory Detection**: Uses current directory if it contains Python files, otherwise falls back to `project_root/src`
+3. **Package Initialization**: Creates temporary `__init__.py` if subfolder doesn't have one (required for hatchling)
+4. **README Handling**: 
+   - Checks for README files in the subfolder (README.md, README.rst, README.txt, or README)
+   - If found, copies the subfolder README to project root (backing up the original parent README)
+   - If not found, creates a minimal README with just the folder name
+5. **Configuration Creation**: Creates temporary `pyproject.toml` with:
+   - Subfolder-specific package name (derived or custom)
+   - Specified version
+   - Correct package path for hatchling
+6. **Build Execution**: Runs build command with all dependencies in place
+7. **Cleanup**: Restores original `pyproject.toml` and removes temporary `__init__.py`
+
+### How does building from Subdirectories work?
+
+This is useful for monorepos containing many subfolders that may need publishing as stand-alone packages for external usage.  
+The tool automatically detects the project root by searching for `pyproject.toml` in parent directories.  
+This allows you to build subfolders of a main project as separate packages:
+
+```bash
+# From a subdirectory, the tool will:
+# 1. Find pyproject.toml in parent directories (project root)
+# 2. Use current directory as source if it contains Python files
+# 3. Build with dependencies from the parent project
+# 4. Create a temporary build config with subfolder-specific name and version
+
+cd my_project/subfolder_to_build
+python-package-folder --version "1.0.0" --publish pypi
+```
+
+When building from a subdirectory, you **must** specify `--version` because subfolders are built as separate packages with their own version.
+
+The tool automatically:
+- Finds the project root by looking for `pyproject.toml` in parent directories
+- Uses the current directory as the source directory if it contains Python files
+- Falls back to `project_root/src` if the current directory isn't suitable
+- For subfolder builds: creates a temporary `pyproject.toml` with:
+  - Package name derived from the subfolder name (or use `--package-name` to override)
+  - Version from `--version` argument
+  - Proper package path configuration for hatchling
+- Creates temporary `__init__.py` files if needed to make subfolders valid Python packages
+- **README handling for subfolder builds**:
+  - If a README file (README.md, README.rst, README.txt, or README) exists in the subfolder, it will be used instead of the parent README
+  - If no README exists in the subfolder, a minimal README with just the folder name will be created
+- Restores the original `pyproject.toml` after build (unless `--no-restore-versioning` is used)
+- Cleans up temporary `__init__.py` files after build
+
+**Subfolder Build Example:**
+```bash
+# Build a subfolder as a separate package
+cd tests/folder_structure/subfolder_to_build
+python-package-folder --version "0.1.0" --package-name "my-subfolder-package" --publish pypi
+
+# Build with a specific dependency group from parent pyproject.toml
+python-package-folder --version "0.1.0" --dependency-group "dev" --publish pypi
+```
+
+**Dependency Groups**: When building a subfolder, you can specify a dependency group from the parent `pyproject.toml` to include in the subfolder's build configuration. This allows subfolders to inherit specific dependencies from the parent project:
+
+```bash
+# Use the 'dev' dependency group from parent pyproject.toml
+python-package-folder --version "1.0.0" --dependency-group "dev" --publish pypi
+```
+
+The specified dependency group will be copied from the parent `pyproject.toml`'s `[dependency-groups]` section into the temporary `pyproject.toml` used for the subfolder build.
+
+## Python API Usage
+
+You can also use the package programmatically:
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+from python_package_folder import BuildManager
+
+# Initialize the build manager
+manager = BuildManager(
+    project_root=Path("."),
+    src_dir=Path("src")
+)
+
+# Prepare build (finds and copies external dependencies)
+external_deps = manager.prepare_build()
+
+print(f"Found {len(external_deps)} external dependencies")
+for dep in external_deps:
+    print(f"  {dep.import_name}: {dep.source_path} -> {dep.target_path}")
+
+# Run your build process here
+# ...
+
+# Cleanup copied files
+manager.cleanup()
+```
+
+Or use the convenience method:
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+from python_package_folder import BuildManager
+import subprocess
+
+manager = BuildManager(project_root=Path("."), src_dir=Path("src"))
+
+def build_command():
+    subprocess.run(["uv", "build"], check=True)
+
+# Automatically handles prepare, build, and cleanup
+manager.run_build(build_command)
+```
+
+## Working with sysappend
+
+This package works well with projects using [sysappend](https://pypi.org/project/sysappend/) for flexible import management. When you have imports like:
+
+```python
+if True:
+    import sysappend; sysappend.all()
+
+from some_globals import SOME_GLOBAL_VARIABLE
+from folder_structure.utility_folder.some_utility import print_something
+```
+
+The package will correctly identify and copy external dependencies even when they're referenced without full package paths.
+
+## Publishing version Management
+
+The package supports both dynamic versioning (from git tags) and manual version specification.
+
+
+### Manual Version Setting
+
+You can manually set a version before building and publishing:
+
+```bash
+# Build with a specific version
+python-package-folder --version "1.2.3"
+
+# Build and publish with a specific version
+python-package-folder --version "1.2.3" --publish pypi
+
+# Keep the static version (don't restore dynamic versioning)
+python-package-folder --version "1.2.3" --no-restore-versioning
+```
+
+The `--version` option:
+- Sets a static version in `pyproject.toml` before building
+- Temporarily removes dynamic versioning configuration
+- Restores the original configuration after build (unless `--no-restore-versioning` is used)
+- Validates version format (must be PEP 440 compliant)
+
+**Version Format**: Versions must follow PEP 440 (e.g., `1.2.3`, `1.2.3a1`, `1.2.3.post1`, `1.2.3.dev1`)
+
+
+### Subfolder Versioning
+
+When building from a subdirectory (not the main `src/` directory), you **must** specify `--version`:
+
+```bash
+# Build a subfolder as a separate package
+cd my_project/subfolder_to_build
+python-package-folder --version "1.0.0" --publish pypi
+
+# With custom package name
+python-package-folder --version "1.0.0" --package-name "my-custom-name" --publish pypi
+```
+
+For subfolder builds:
+- **Version is required**: The tool will error if `--version` is not provided
+- **Package name**: Automatically derived from the subfolder name (e.g., `subfolder_to_build` → `subfolder-to-build`)
+- **Temporary configuration**: Creates a temporary `pyproject.toml` with:
+  - Custom package name (from `--package-name` or derived)
+  - Specified version
+  - Correct package path for hatchling
+  - Dependency group from parent (if `--dependency-group` is specified)
+- **Package initialization**: Automatically creates `__init__.py` if the subfolder doesn't have one (required for hatchling)
+- **README handling**: 
+  - If a README file exists in the subfolder, it will be used instead of the parent README
+  - If no README exists in the subfolder, a minimal README with just the folder name will be created
+- **Auto-restore**: Original `pyproject.toml` is restored after build, and temporary `__init__.py` files are removed
+
+
+### Python API for Version Management
+
+```python
+from python_package_folder import VersionManager
+from pathlib import Path
+
+# Set a version
+version_manager = VersionManager(project_root=Path("."))
+version_manager.set_version("1.2.3")
+
+# Get current version
+current_version = version_manager.get_current_version()
+
+# Restore dynamic versioning
+version_manager.restore_dynamic_versioning()
+```
+
+### Dynamic Versioning
+
+By default, the package uses `uv-dynamic-versioning` which derives versions from git tags. This is configured in `pyproject.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[project]
+dynamic = ["version"]
+
+[tool.hatch.version]
+source = "uv-dynamic-versioning"
+
+[tool.uv-dynamic-versioning]
+vcs = "git"
+style = "pep440"
+bump = true
+```
+
+When you use `--version`, the package temporarily switches to static versioning for that build, then restores the dynamic configuration.
+
+## Publishing Packages
+
+The package includes built-in support for publishing to PyPI, TestPyPI, and Azure Artifacts.
+
+
+### Command Line Publishing
+
+Publish after building:
+
+```bash
+# Publish to PyPI
+python-package-folder --publish pypi
+
+# Publish to PyPI with a specific version
+python-package-folder --version "1.2.3" --publish pypi
+
+# Publish to TestPyPI (for testing)
+python-package-folder --publish testpypi
+
+# Publish to Azure Artifacts
+python-package-folder --publish azure --repository-url "https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/ORG/PROJECT/_packaging/FEED/pypi/upload"
+```
+
+The command will prompt for credentials if not provided:
+
+```bash
+# Provide credentials via command line (less secure)
+python-package-folder --publish pypi --username __token__ --password pypi-xxxxx
+
+# Skip existing files on repository
+python-package-folder --publish pypi --skip-existing
+```
+
+
+### Credentials
+
+**For PyPI/TestPyPI:**
+- **Username**: Your PyPI username, or `__token__` for API tokens
+- **Password**: Your PyPI password or API token (recommended)
+- **Auto-detection**: If you provide an API token (starts with `pypi-`), the tool will automatically use `__token__` as the username, even if you entered a different username
+
+**Common Authentication Issues:**
+- **403 Forbidden**: Usually means you used your username instead of `__token__` with an API token. The tool now auto-detects this.
+- **TestPyPI vs PyPI**: TestPyPI requires a separate account and token from https://test.pypi.org/manage/account/token/
+
+
+### Smart File Filtering
+
+When publishing, the tool automatically filters distribution files to only upload those matching the current build:
+
+- **Package name matching**: Only uploads files for the package being built
+- **Version matching**: Only uploads files for the specified version
+- **Automatic cleanup**: Old build artifacts in `dist/` are ignored, preventing accidental uploads
+
+This ensures that when building a subfolder package, only that package's distribution files are uploaded, not files from previous builds of other packages.
+
+To get a PyPI API token:
+1. Go to https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/
+2. Create a new API token
+3. Use `__token__` as username and the token as password
+
+**For Azure Artifacts:**
+- **Username**: Your Azure username or feed name
+- **Password**: Personal Access Token (PAT) with packaging permissions
+- **Repository URL**: Your Azure Artifacts feed URL
+
+
+### Python API Publishing
+
+You can also publish programmatically:
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+from python_package_folder import BuildManager, Publisher, Repository
+import subprocess
+
+# Build and publish in one step
+manager = BuildManager(project_root=Path("."), src_dir=Path("src"))
+
+def build():
+    subprocess.run(["uv", "build"], check=True)
+
+manager.build_and_publish(
+    build,
+    repository="pypi",
+    username="__token__",
+    password="pypi-xxxxx",
+    version="1.2.3"  # Optional: set specific version
+)
+```
+```
+
+Or publish separately:
+
+```python
+from python_package_folder import Publisher, Repository
+
+# Publish existing distribution
+publisher = Publisher(
+    repository=Repository.PYPI,
+    dist_dir=Path("dist"),
+    username="__token__",
+    password="pypi-xxxxx"
+)
+publisher.publish()
+```
+
+
+### Credential Storage
+
+The package uses the `keyring` library (if installed) to securely store credentials. Credentials are stored per repository and will be reused on subsequent runs.
+
+Install keyring for secure credential storage:
+```bash
+pip install keyring
+```
+
+## Command Line Options

+    password="pypi-xxxxx",
+    package_name="my-package",  # Optional: filter files by package name
+    version="1.2.3"              # Optional: filter files by version
+)
+publisher.publish()
+```
+
+**Methods:**
+- `publish(skip_existing: bool = False) -> None`: Publish the package (automatically filters by package_name/version if provided)
+- `publish_interactive(skip_existing: bool = False) -> None`: Publish with interactive credential prompts
+
+**Note**: When `package_name` and `version` are provided, only distribution files matching those parameters are uploaded. This prevents uploading old build artifacts.
+
+### VersionManager
+
+Manages package version in pyproject.toml.
+
+```python
+from python_package_folder import VersionManager
+from pathlib import Path
+
+version_manager = VersionManager(project_root=Path("."))
+
+# Set a static version
+version_manager.set_version("1.2.3")
+
+# Get current version
+version = version_manager.get_current_version()
+
+# Restore dynamic versioning
+version_manager.restore_dynamic_versioning()
+```
+
+**Methods:**
+- `set_version(version: str) -> None`: Set a static version (validates PEP 440 format)
+- `get_current_version() -> str | None`: Get current version from pyproject.toml
+- `restore_dynamic_versioning() -> None`: Restore dynamic versioning configuration
+
+### SubfolderBuildConfig
+
+Manages temporary build configuration for subfolder builds.
+
+```python
+from python_package_folder import SubfolderBuildConfig
+from pathlib import Path
+
+config = SubfolderBuildConfig(
+    project_root=Path("."),
+    src_dir=Path("subfolder"),
+    package_name="my-subfolder",
+    version="1.0.0"
+)
+
+# Create temporary pyproject.toml
+config.create_temp_pyproject()
+
+# ... build process ...
+
+# Restore original configuration
+config.restore()
+```
+
+**Methods:**
+- `create_temp_pyproject() -> Path`: Create temporary `pyproject.toml` with subfolder-specific configuration
+- `restore() -> None`: Restore original `pyproject.toml` and clean up temporary files
+
+**Note**: This class automatically creates `__init__.py` files if needed to make subfolders valid Python packages. It also handles README files:
+- If a README exists in the subfolder, it will be used instead of the parent README
+- If no README exists in the subfolder, a minimal README with just the folder name will be created
+- The original parent README is backed up and restored after the build completes
