How to create python pypi package

• register accounts on pypi test and pypi legacy
• create ~/.pypirc file with content:

  [distutils]
  index-servers=
      pypi
      test
  
  [test]
  repository = https://testpypi.python.org/pypi
  username = pypi_test_login
  password = pypi_test_password
  
  [pypi]
  repository = https://pypi.python.org/pypi
  username = pypi_legacy_login
  password = pypi_legacy_password
  

• clone this repository
• remove .git folder
• create your package (for example use package_name)
• when you're ready to add a project to pypi edit setup.py with your settings
• when the setting is complete, register package on test server:
  python setup.py register -r test
• prepare (build your package):
  python setup.py bdist_wheel sdist
• now you could try test your package in two ways:
  • install package from test pypi:
    pip install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi PACKAGENAME
  • install package from wheel:
    pip install dist/my-project.whl
  • in both cases use new virtualenv
• if all is ok, you could register package on legacy pypi server:
  python setup.py register -r pypi
• upload prepared files:
  twine upload dist/*

Now you can use you package: pip install PACKAGENAME 😎
