+# Publishing sst-sdk to PyPI
+
+The Python SDK publishes automatically as part of the SST release workflow
+(`.github/workflows/release.yml`), alongside the JS and Rust SDKs. It triggers
+on every version tag push.
+
+## One-time setup
+
+### 1. Configure trusted publishing on PyPI
+
+Go to https://pypi.org/manage/account/publishing/ and create a new pending publisher:
+
+- **PyPI project name**: `sst-sdk`
+- **Owner**: `sst` (the GitHub org)
+- **Repository**: `sst`
+- **Workflow name**: `release.yml`
+- **Environment name**: (leave blank — the release job doesn't use a named environment)
+
+This configures OIDC trusted publishing — no API tokens needed.
+
+### 2. Verify permissions
+
+The release workflow already has `id-token: write` permission, which is all
+`pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish` needs.
+
+## How it works
+
+When a tag is pushed:
+
+1. The release workflow runs `goreleaser` to build the CLI
+2. Publishes the JS SDK to npm
+3. Publishes the Rust SDK to crates.io
+4. **Publishes the Python SDK to PyPI**:
+   - Reads the version from `dist/metadata.json` (same source as other SDKs)
+   - Updates `pyproject.toml` with that version
+   - Builds with `uv build`
+   - Publishes via `pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish`
+5. Announces on Discord
+
+The Python SDK version stays in sync with the CLI and other SDKs automatically.
+
+## Testing locally
+
+Build the package without publishing:
+
+```bash
+cd sdk/python
+uv build
+```
+
+This creates `dist/sst_sdk-{version}.tar.gz` and `dist/sst_sdk-{version}-py3-none-any.whl`.
+
+Test the install:
+
+```bash
+pip install dist/sst_sdk-*.whl
+python -c "from sst import Resource; print('OK')"
+```

-# SST SDK
+# SST Python SDK
 
-Similar the to the JS SDK, the Python SDK provides a way to access resources in your app.
+The Python SDK for [SST](https://sst.dev) lets you access linked resources in your Python Lambda functions.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install sst-sdk
+```
+
+Or with uv:
+
+```bash
+uv add sst-sdk
+```
+
+## Migrating from the Git dependency
+
+If you were previously installing the SDK from GitHub:
+
+```toml
+# Before
+[project]
+dependencies = ["sst"]
+
+[tool.uv.sources]
+sst = { git = "https://github.com/sst/sst", subdirectory = "sdk/python" }
+```
+
+Update your `pyproject.toml` to use the PyPI package instead:
+
+```toml
+# After
+[project]
+dependencies = ["sst-sdk"]
+```
+
+That's it — remove the `[tool.uv.sources]` entry for `sst` and replace the dependency name. No code changes needed; `from sst import Resource` works the same way.
 
 ## Usage
 
+Use `Resource` to access any resource linked to your function in `sst.config.ts`:
+
 ```python
 from sst import Resource
 
-print(Resource.MyBucket.name)
+# Access linked resources by name
+bucket_name = Resource.MyBucket.name
+table_name = Resource.MyTable.name
+```
+
+Resources are defined and linked in your `sst.config.ts`:
+
+```ts
+const bucket = new sst.aws.Bucket("MyBucket");
+
+new sst.aws.Function("MyFunction", {
+  handler: "handler.main",
+  link: [bucket],
+});
 ```
+
+The SDK reads resource bindings from encrypted environment variables set by SST at deploy time. In `sst dev`, resources are available automatically through the local development bridge.
