Build a Local Package¶

This deterministic package has no model or third-party Python dependency. It separates a public module entry point from an implementation module.

Files¶

release_labels/
  package.kedi
  src/
    release_labels/
      main.kedi
      formatting.kedi
consumer.kedi

release_labels/package.kedi:

> package: release_labels:
  version: 0.1.0
  source: src/release_labels
  python: python@3.10-3.14

release_labels/src/release_labels/formatting.kedi:

@release_label(name: str, version: str) -> str:
  = <name> v<version>

> export:
  release_label

release_labels/src/release_labels/main.kedi:

> import: formatting:
  release_label

> export:
  release_label

consumer.kedi:

> import: release_labels:
  release_label

= <release_label(Kedi, 0.4.0)>

Install and Run¶

From the directory containing release_labels/ and consumer.kedi:

export KEDI_HOME="$PWD/.kedi-demo"
kedi install release_labels/package.kedi
kedi consumer.kedi

The consumer returns Kedi v0.4.0. The explicit absolute Kedi home keeps this exercise separate from the normal user registry. Installation copies the declared source; edits to the original need reinstallation. The receipt records provenance but does not make the package trusted.

What This Demonstrates¶

The internal formatting import resolves relative to main.kedi. Importers receive exported bindings, not a namespace object. The package's Python version range checks the installer interpreter; it does not download Python. See the manifest reference for optional metadata and dependency fields.
