How do I use python setup.py upload?

I'm trying to upload a package to PyPI - but I can't seem to. Trying to upload failed:

C:\pphp>python setup.py upload
running upload
Password:
error: No dist file created in earlier command

but I had already created a dist file!

I then found a question that had that problem - the accepted answer was python setup.py sdist upload, which still didn't work:

C:\pphp>python setup.py sdist upload
running sdist
running egg_info
writing pphp.egg-info\PKG-INFO
writing top-level names to pphp.egg-info\top_level.txt
writing dependency_links to pphp.egg-info\dependency_links.txt
reading manifest file 'pphp.egg-info\SOURCES.txt'
writing manifest file 'pphp.egg-info\SOURCES.txt'
running check

Since I assumed this had to do with this probably not being registered, I used python setup.py register:

C:\pphp>python setup.py register
running register
running egg_info
writing pphp.egg-info\PKG-INFO
writing top-level names to pphp.egg-info\top_level.txt

Since it said "continue directly to uploading files", I then tried sdist register upload:

C:\pphp>python setup.py sdist register upload

So since registration is no longer needed, what am I doing wrong with sdist upload? Am I supposed to enter my PyPI password (what I'm trying) or something else, or is there a separate thing I need to do first?

Solution

  • I used Linux instead and twine worked fine - there must have been something I messed up on Windows. This has been resolved!

    Most questions like this should also be solved once PyPI migrates to https://pypi.org from https://pypi.python.org as well.
