Uploading to PyPI

Instructions on how to upload a package on PyPi

Since I always forget, here are some instructions.

Only once

• pip install twine (only once)

• create ~/.pypirc:

    [distutils]
    index-servers =
      pypi
      pypitest
  
    [pypi]    
    username=gio.piz
    
    [pypitest]
    repository=https://testpypi.python.org/pypi
    username=gio.piz
  

Commits and tags in the code

• First, update __version__ in the code
• merge into master, commit, push, and create a new tag 'vX.X.X' from the commit in master (remember to push the tag as well!)

Then:

Update pip

1. clear the build/, dist and disk-objectstore.egg-info folders

2. git pull (possibly then checking out the tag to be sure of the version we are at)

3. python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel --universal

4. upload the package

   twine upload dist/*

(to test: pip install disk-objectstore)
