Uploading Packages to the Package Index

|
|
The Python Package Index (PyPI) not only stores the package info, but also the
|
|
package data if the author of the package wishes to. The distutils command
|
|
:command:`upload` pushes the distribution files to PyPI.
|
|
|
|
The command is invoked immediately after building one or more distribution
|
|
files. For example, the command ::
|
|
|
|
python setup.py sdist bdist_wininst upload
|
|
|
|
will cause the source distribution and the Windows installer to be uploaded to
|
|
PyPI. Note that these will be uploaded even if they are built using an earlier
|
|
invocation of :file:`setup.py`, but that only distributions named on the command
|
|
line for the invocation including the :command:`upload` command are uploaded.
|
|
|
|
The :command:`upload` command uses the username, password, and repository URL
|
|
from the :file:`$HOME/.pypirc` file (see section :ref:`pypirc` for more on this
|
|
file). If a :command:`register` command was previously called in the same command,
|
|
and if the password was entered in the prompt, :command:`upload` will reuse the
|
|
entered password. This is useful if you do not want to store a clear text
|
|
password in the :file:`$HOME/.pypirc` file.
|
|
|
|
You can specify another PyPI server with the :option:`--repository=*url*` option::
|
|
|
|
python setup.py sdist bdist_wininst upload -r http://example.com/pypi
|
|
|
|
See section :ref:`pypirc` for more on defining several servers.
|
|
|
|
You can use the :option:`--sign` option to tell :command:`upload` to sign each
|
|
uploaded file using GPG (GNU Privacy Guard). The :program:`gpg` program must
|
|
be available for execution on the system :envvar:`PATH`. You can also specify
|
|
which key to use for signing using the :option:`--identity=*name*` option.
|
|
|
|
Other :command:`upload` options include :option:`--repository=<url>` or
|
|
:option:`--repository=<section>` where *url* is the url of the server and
|
|
*section* the name of the section in :file:`$HOME/.pypirc`, and
|
|
:option:`--show-response` (which displays the full response text from the PyPI
|
|
server for help in debugging upload problems).
