Usage

To run Python: rez env python-3 -- python3

It should also be possible to run it standalone, i.e.

1. Figure out where python3 is installed to: PY3="$(rez env python-3 -- command -v python3)"
2. Run it directly: "$PY3" -m tarfile --help

Maintenance

Whenever new official release come out, update the __version__ in package.py then re-run rez build --install.

If you decide to make another install, e.g. new commands() environment setup, you can instead just update the +local. version number to indicate new releases/versions of your own. See PEP 540 local version segments.

Also, you can rename +local. to something more relevant to you e.g. +mystudio. or +mygithubname.
