Help us test PyPI!

[This page is a draft and not to be used/publicized until we close out the Maintainer MVP milestone. That'll probably be in late February 2018.]

Warehouse is a next-generation Python Package Repository designed to replace the legacy code base that currently powers PyPI (source code on GitHub, roadmap). If you maintain a package on PyPI, we'd love for you to test it and send us bug reports. Go to the pre-production deployment at https://pypi.org/ and try it out!

Things to test

• Upgrade your versions of twine and setuptools

• Upload a test package to Test PyPI

• Check whether the project description, release history, download files, project links, maintainers, tags, and classifiers for your project on testpypi.org work correctly (example)

• Use pip to install a package from PyPI.org

• Upload a new release of your package to PyPI.org

Known issues

On GitHub. Overview:

• trove classifier issues

• general user account polish, e.g., can't recover account by email and no confirmation email on new account registration

• until PEP 541 is accepted, we don't have a policy to help us change ownership of package names

• version sorting issues

• confusing "/legacy" URL

• deleting legacy documentation

• no Markdown support

• localization
