Python Package Index

PyPI

Setup

Note

Before you can publish any package to the Python Package Index, you’ll have to register here: https://pypi.org/account/register/

In a second step, you will have to configure the setuptools to be able to pack your project file. The easiest approach is to add a new hidden file called .pypirc to your home folder. This file should look like:

.pypirc

[disutils]
index-servers =
    pypi

[pypi]
repository: https://www.python.org/pypi
username: yourname
password: yourpassword

Replace yourname and yourpassword with the username and password you chose when registering on PyPI.

Warning

Your password is saved as plain text in this file, so make sure that nobody else has access to your home folder. Otherwise refer to the PyPI documentation for upload procedures without saved password.
