I am building several Python packages and would like to upload them only if all the packages have been successfully built. I have a separate stage for each Python package, whose sdist is carried to the last stage where all collected sdists should be uploaded (if the build reaches the final stage, then all packages were built successfully).
Now, is there a way to execute python setup.py sdist, then python setup.py upload [path] in order to achieve what I need? Or is there a better way for this?
P.S.: I am using Bamboo, if it helps.
Currently, upload will only push files that are created by a distutils sdist/bdist command run from the same command line than upload, e.g. python setup.py sdist upload. If you run sdist, check the result, and then do sdist upload, the second sdist should be exactly the same, unless your setup.py is buggy, you made changes to your files or you have a computer problem. (I agree that’s a lot of unless).
A trick can be used to avoid the second sdist to redo all its work: Fist you run python setup.py sdist --keep-temp, then you check the sdist, and to upload you call python setup.py sdist --dry-run upload.
There is an open enhancement request to improve this in the next feature release: http://bugs.python.org/issue12944
In the meantime, you can use twine.
