ValueError: No PKG-INFO in archive

I've been trying to upload my package to PyPI by taking these steps:

  1. Registering on PyPI

  2. Creating a hidden .pypirc file in my home directory (~/) containing:

    [distutils]
index-servers = pypi

[pypi]
repository=https://pypi.python.org/pypi
username=my_username
password=my_password

  3. Creating LICENSE.TXT, requirements.txt, and setup.cfg inside my package which contained this:

    [metadata]

description-file = README.md

  4. Creating setup.py inside my package containing this:

    from setuptools import setup
setup(
  name='Package_name',
  packages=['Package_name'],
  version='1.0',
  description='Description,
  author= 'ShellRox',
  author_email='Email',
  url='Github url',
  download_url='Github download url',
  keywords=['authentication', 'steam', 'simple'],
  classifiers=[],
)

  5. Converting my package directory to tar.gz file:

tar -czvf Package_name.tar.gz Package_name
  1. And finally, executing this command:
twine upload package_name.tar.gz

From which, I received this error:

ValueError: No PKG-INFO in archive: PATH_HERE

I know that similar question has been asked before, But as you see i have already practiced solution question's only answer provided, But it didn't seem to work.

How should I put PKG-INFO in my archive? Could there be some problem?

Solution

  • To create a source distribution you need (instead of tar):

    python setup.py sdist

    Verify it before uploading — you may need to adjust MANIFEST or MANIFEST.in to include everything.

    To create binary packages:

    python setup.py bdist_egg

    and/or

    python setup.py bdist_wheel

    Then twine upload dist/*.
