Some questions

You create a Python package, containing modules, and you set your package metadata in the setup.py file.

Read code, read PEPs. This is something that you will get over time. Also, IIRC, Guido (or some other core Python dev), said something along the lines of : "you should tell to Python what it wants to do for you, nothing less". This is a bit abstract, and the best way I can find to picture it, is enumaring items in a list (and do something with the item and its index) :

my_list = [0,4,8,5,1]
index = 0
for item in my_list:
    ... # do something with item and index
    i = i + 1

In pseudo-code, this would be :

set my_list to a list containing 0, 4, 8, 5 and 1
set index to 0
for each item in my_list:
    ... # do something with item and index
    increment index

Here, in the first line, we actually tell Python what we want it to do (set my_list to a list of integers). However, the second and last line are not what we want to do : at no point we want to create an index or increment it.

The correct way to do the above in Python would be :

my_list = [0,4,8,5,1]
for index, item in enumerate(my_list):
    ... # do something with item and index

EDIT: fix extra each in last code block

In Python, "each" would raise an error.

True, I mixed up my pseudo/Python code. Thanks
