Uploading Python code to the Pip repository

PyPi

Install and upgrade some requirements

pip install pip setuptools twine --upgrade

Create accounts

On PyPI Live and also on PyPI Test. You must create an account in order to be able to upload your code. I recommend using the same email/password for both accounts, just to make your life easier when it comes time to push.

Create .pypirc file

Create a .pypirc file in your home with the following content

[distutils]
index-servers =
  pypi
  pypitest

[pypi]
username=your_username
password=your_password

[pypitest]
repository:https://test.pypi.org/legacy/
username=your_username
password=your_password

Change permissions for other users

chmod 600 ~/.pypirc

setup.py

from distutils.core import setup
setup(
  name = 'mypackage',
  packages = ['mypackage'], # this must be the same as the name above
  version = '0.1',
  description = 'A random test lib',
  author = 'Miquel Perello Nieto',
  author_email = 'perello.nieto@gmail.com',
  url = 'https://github.com/perellonieto/mypackage',
  download_url = 'https://github.com/perellonieto/mypackage/archive/0.1.tar.gz',
  keywords = ['testing', 'logging', 'example'], # arbitrary keywords
  classifiers = [],
)

Tag the git repo

git tag 0.1 -m "Adds a tag so that we can put this on PyPI."
git push --tags origin master

setup.cfg

[metadata]
description-file = README.md

Upload to PyPI test

python setup.py register -r pypitest
python setup.py sdist upload -r pypitest

Upload to PyPI

twine upload dist/mypackage-0.1.tar.gz
