Automate package publishing to PyPI using GitHub Actions

Summary

Automate the process of publishing Python packages to PyPI by creating and configuring a GitHub Action workflow. This will ensure consistent and reliable package releases directly from the repository.

Tasks

• Set up a GitHub Actions workflow to publish packages to PyPI upon new releases or tags.
• Configure workflow with secure secrets for PyPI authentication (e.g., PYPI_USERNAME, PYPI_PASSWORD or PYPI_TOKEN).
• Document the workflow configuration and update repository documentation if necessary.
• Test the workflow to ensure proper package publishing and error handling.

Benefits

• Streamlines the release process for Python packages.
• Reduces manual steps and potential errors in publishing.
• Maintains a reliable release pipeline for the project.

Acceptance Criteria

• A GitHub Actions workflow is available in the repository for PyPI publishing.
• Package publishing to PyPI is automated and requires minimal manual intervention.
• Documentation is updated to reflect new automation steps.
