  python -m pip install --upgrade build twine

  # Build the package
  python -m build
  ```

- [ ] **Validate Package**
  ```powershell
  # Check package contents
  twine check dist/*
  
  # Test installation from local build
  pip install dist/edaflow-0.12.0-py3-none-any.whl --force-reinstall
  
  # Verify new functions work
  python -c "import edaflow; print('Functions:', len([f for f in dir(edaflow) if not f.startswith('_')])); print('Encoding functions available:', hasattr(edaflow, 'analyze_encoding_needs'), hasattr(edaflow, 'apply_smart_encoding'))"
  ```

### PyPI Deployment
- [ ] **Test PyPI Upload (Recommended)**
  ```powershell
  # Upload to TestPyPI first
  twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*
  
  # Test install from TestPyPI
  pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ edaflow==0.12.0
  ```

- [ ] **Production PyPI Upload**
  ```powershell
  # Upload to production PyPI
  twine upload dist/*
  ```

## 🎯 Post-Deployment Verification

### Installation Testing
- [ ] **Fresh Environment Test**
  ```powershell
  # Create clean test environment
  python -m venv test_env
  test_env\Scripts\activate
  
  # Install from PyPI
  pip install edaflow==0.12.0
  
  # Test core functionality
  python -c "
  import edaflow
  import pandas as pd
  
  # Test encoding functions
  df = pd.DataFrame({'cat': ['A', 'B'], 'num': [1, 2]})
  analysis = edaflow.analyze_encoding_needs(df)
  encoded = edaflow.apply_smart_encoding(df)
  print('✅ v0.12.0 deployment successful!')
  "
  ```

### Badge & Links Updates
- [ ] **Update Repository Badges**
  - [ ] PyPI version badge should show v0.12.0
