How to build Python packages with TravisCI.

What are Python packages?

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built-in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are freely available in source or binary form for all major platforms from the python.org website and can be freely distributed.

What is TravisCI?

Travis CI is a hosted, distributed Continuous Integration service used to build and test software projects hosted at GitHub. Travis CI is integrated with GitHub pull requests and supports all programming languages that can be built into docker images, making it very handy to setup.
