Publishing to PyPI
Before you upload your distribution, ensure your package files are ready. You should have built distribution archives such as a source distribution (.tar.gz) and a wheel (.whl) using tools like build. These files are typically found in the dist/ directory of your project.
Security is crucial when publishing to PyPI.
- Always use a strong, unique password for your PyPI account;
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for additional protection;
- Never share your credentials or store them in your project repository;
- Consider using a password manager to keep your login details secure.
To upload your package, you will use twine, which is a secure utility for publishing Python packages. Make sure you have twine installed in your environment.
# Upload your package to PyPI using twine
twine upload dist/*
After running this command, you will be prompted for your PyPI username and password. If you have enabled two-factor authentication (2FA), you will also need to provide your authentication code. Check the output for any errors, and verify your package is available on https://pypi.org/project/your-package-name/.
Review your package for sensitive files or credentials before uploading. Once a version is published to PyPI, it cannot be overwritten or deleted for security reasons, so double-check everything before you proceed.
