You can have HTML documentation for your projects hosted for free by PyPI. It will be displayed at a URI like this:
Note: this used to be
and those URLs will be redirected to the new hostname.
What PyPI accepts
The documentation must comply with this rules:
- Only static files are supported.
- There must be a top-level file named "index.html".
- All the files should be packed into a zip file.
How to upload
If your project uses setuptools, you can send your documentation to PyPI directly from your terminal:
- python setup.py upload_docs
By default, the directory "build/docs" will be zipped up and sent. Pass --upload-dir on the command line or in the setup.cfg file to adapt it.
Distutils2 also provides this command:
- pysetup run upload_docs
The upload-dir option has the same default value.
How to manually upload
If you can’t or don’t want to use a command, you can zip the directory, log into PyPI usig a Web browser, select the project from the “Your Packages list” and use the form at the bottom of the edit page to upload the zip file.
