GitHub action to automatically publish new releases to PyPi

[morphine00]

Hi, Bruno Ferreira from MLCommons Systems here. This GitHub action should trigger whenever a new release is created and automatically build and publish the package to PyPi. The build commands use Twine to build the package.

Hey Bruno, thanks a lot for this! I have a few comments, but I'm looking forward to merging in order to try on a real deployment

Remove this commented section?

[morphine00]

You can remove it if you wish. We just left that in as a placeholder as in the future Croissant might wish to publish the package to multiple repositories at once, and that section of the action can be tweaked to enable that.

Can you remove the commented section? If you want to add a hint for future developers, that'd be great. Maybe a comment explaining what you just said with a link to the example in mlcommons/mlcube. Something like:

# If you wish to publish the package to multiple repositories at once, get inspiration from
# https://github.com/mlcommons/mlcube/blob/master/.github/workflows/python-publish.yml.

Should this be triggered manually?

[morphine00]

Not sure I'm following, sorry :) Whenever you post a release in GitHub, the action gets triggered to build and upload it to PyPi. Unless you mean that the creation of a release itself is manual?

[marcenacp]

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know you'd have to post a release. Can you maybe update the documentation?

@morphine00 Hey Bruno, just made a few comments and I think we can merge :) Thanks!

Hi @marcenacp , sorry for the delay getting back to this, got lost in the shuffle. I added the changes you requested, can you double-check? Let me know if you need anything more, thanks.
