Comment: The test server isn't new any more :)

Why not use our new '''test''' PyPI server at https://testpypi.python.org/pypi The '''test''' PyPI server at https://testpypi.python.org/pypi provides a location to experiment with the publication process without impacting the live PyPI service.

To upload packages to it: To upload packages to it you need to:

1. Register with the site. It has a different user database than the main PyPI server. It also gets cleaned out on a semi-regular basis.

2. Fill in your test PyPI credentials in your ~/.pypirc file. You should end up with something like this:
Line 9: Line 13:
   python setup.py upload -r https://testpypi.python.org/pypi [distutils]
index-servers=
    pypi
    testpypi

[testpypi]
repository = https://testpypi.python.org/pypi
username = <your user name goes here>
password = <your test password goes here>

[pypi]
username = <your user name goes here>
password = <your live password optionally goes here>

To install packages from it: {{{#!wiki comment
We omit the live repository URL for consistency with https://packaging.python.org/distributing/#create-an-account

This better allows tools to manage the default URL of the live service without having to account for config
files still using the old settings.
}}}
3. Use the test server URL to register your project (it gives you the right to modify your project on the server):

{{{
   python setup.py register -r https://testpypi.python.org/pypi
}}}

Note that the test server uses an older implementation of the upload interface and hence does ''not'' support auto-registration the way the live service does when using twine's default configuration.

4. Then upload it using twine:

{{{
   twine upload dist/* -r testpypi
}}}

Now that your project is on the server, test that you can install your package from testpypi (it may be a good idea to run your unit tests from another directory to make sure you are using the version you just installed):

If you need to push your project again, change the version number in `setup.py` otherwise the server will give you an error.

Test PyPI Server

Just learning the packaging ropes or trying some system integration out?

The test PyPI server at https://testpypi.python.org/pypi provides a location to experiment with the publication process without impacting the live PyPI service.

To upload packages to it you need to:

1. Register with the site. It has a different user database than the main PyPI server. It also gets cleaned out on a semi-regular basis.

2. Fill in your test PyPI credentials in your ~/.pypirc file. You should end up with something like this:

[distutils]
index-servers=
    pypi
    testpypi

[testpypi]
repository = https://testpypi.python.org/pypi
username = <your user name goes here>
password = <your test password goes here>

[pypi]
username = <your user name goes here>
password = <your live password optionally goes here>

3. Use the test server URL to register your project (it gives you the right to modify your project on the server):

   python setup.py register -r https://testpypi.python.org/pypi

Note that the test server uses an older implementation of the upload interface and hence does not support auto-registration the way the live service does when using twine's default configuration.

4. Then upload it using twine:

   twine upload dist/* -r testpypi

Now that your project is on the server, test that you can install your package from testpypi (it may be a good idea to run your unit tests from another directory to make sure you are using the version you just installed):

    pip install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi <package name>

If you need to push your project again, change the version number in setup.py otherwise the server will give you an error.
