Developers: How to upload packages

Uploading to your PyPI

Assuming you are running your Django site locally for now, add the following to your ~/.pypirc file:

[distutils]
index-servers =
    pypi
    local

[pypi]
username:user
password:secret

[local]
username:user
password:secret
repository:http://localhost:8000/pypi/

Uploading a package: Python >=2.6

To push the package to the local pypi:

$ python setup.py register -r local sdist upload -r local

Uploading a package: Python <2.6

If you don’t have Python 2.6 please run the command below to install the backport of the extension for multiple repositories:

$ easy_install -U collective.dist

Instead of using register and dist command, you can use mregister and mupload which are a backport of python 2.6 register and upload commands that supports multiple servers.

To push the package to the local pypi:

$ python setup.py mregister -r local sdist mupload -r local
