Hi all
How do you submit an egg and tarball of your product in the collective
to pypi? Remember and a whole bunch of products do this, but I can't
find a tutorial on how to do this.
pypi mentions "python setup.py register", but I'm afraid to just run a
command and possibly upload crap to the cheeseshop.
0) make sure your product is packaged in a setuptools-compatible way (i.e. it
is installable via 'python setup.py install').
1) check the metadata in your package's setup.py file to make sure you've got
the basic required information included so people will know what your package
does.
2) run 'python setup.py register' to register your product with the pypi
database.
3) run 'python setup.py sdist upload' to simultaneously create a "source
distribution" (i.e. a tarball) and upload it to pypi. AFAICT, this has to be
done as one command... running 'python setup.py sdist' followed by 'python
setup.py upload' won't actually perform the upload.
there are options other than sdist, if you want to upload in a different
format, including 'bdist' (binary distribution), 'bdist_rpm' (rpm file),
'bdist_wininst' (windows installer), and 'bdist_egg' (binary egg file). in
most cases, sdist is the best choice, and the only one necessary.
hope this helps,
