twine

Twine is a utility for publishing Python packages on PyPI.

It provides build system independent uploads of source and binary distribution artifacts for both new and existing projects.

Why Should I Use This?

The goal of twine is to improve PyPI interaction by improving security and testability.

The biggest reason to use twine is that it securely authenticates you to PyPI over HTTPS using a verified connection, regardless of the underlying Python version. Meanwhile, python setup.py upload will only work correctly and securely if your build system, Python version, and underlying operating system are configured properly.

Secondly, twine encourages you to build your distribution files. python setup.py upload only allows you to upload a package as a final step after building with distutils or setuptools, within the same command invocation. This means that you cannot test the exact file you're going to upload to PyPI to ensure that it works before uploading it.

Finally, twine allows you to pre-sign your files and pass the .asc files into the command line invocation (twine upload myproject-1.0.1.tar.gz myproject-1.0.1.tar.gz.asc). This enables you to be assured that you're typing your gpg passphrase into gpg itself and not anything else, since you will be the one directly executing gpg --detach-sign -a <filename>.

Features

  • Verified HTTPS connections
  • Uploading doesn't require executing setup.py
  • Uploading files that have already been created, allowing testing of distributions before release
  • Supports uploading any packaging format (including wheels)

Installation

$ pip install twine

Using Twine

  1. Create some distributions in the normal way:

    $ python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
  2. Upload with twine to Test PyPI and verify things look right. Twine will automatically prompt for your username and password:

    $ twine upload -r testpypi dist/*
    username: ...
    password:
    ...
  3. Upload to PyPI:

    $ twine upload dist/*
  4. Done!

More documentation on using twine to upload packages to PyPI is in the Python Packaging User Guide.

Keyring Support

Instead of typing in your password every time you upload a distribution, Twine allows storing a username and password securely using keyring. Keyring is installed with Twine but for some systems (Linux mainly) may require additional installation steps.

Once Twine is installed, use the keyring program to set a username and password to use for each package index (repository) to which you may upload.

For example, to set a username and password for PyPI:

$ keyring set https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ your-username

or

$ python3 -m keyring set https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ your-username

and enter the password when prompted.

For a different repository, replace the URL with the relevant repository URL. For example, for Test PyPI, use https://test.pypi.org/legacy/.

The next time you run twine, it will prompt you for a username and will grab the appropriate password from the keyring.

Note: If you are using Linux in a headless environment (such as on a server) you'll need to do some additional steps to ensure that Keyring can store secrets securely. See Using Keyring on headless systems.

Disabling Keyring

In most cases, simply not setting a password in keyring will allow twine to fall back to prompting for a password. In some cases, the presence of keyring will cause unexpected or undesirable prompts from the backing system. In these cases, it may be desirable to disable keyring altogether. To disable keyring, simply invoke:

$ keyring --disable

or

$ python -m keyring --disable

That command will configure for the current user the "null" keyring, effectively disabling the functionality, and allowing Twine to prompt for passwords.

See twine 338 for discussion and background.

  --non-interactive     Do not interactively prompt for username/password
                        if the required credentials are missing. (Can also
                        be set via TWINE_NON_INTERACTIVE environment

                        format.

Environment Variables

Twine also supports configuration via environment variables. Options passed on the command line will take precedence over options set via environment variables. Definition via environment variable is helpful in environments where it is not convenient to create a .pypirc file (for example, on a CI/build server).

  • TWINE_USERNAME - the username to use for authentication to the repository.
  • TWINE_PASSWORD - the password to use for authentication to the repository.
  • TWINE_REPOSITORY - the repository configuration, either defined as a section in .pypirc or provided as a full URL.
  • TWINE_REPOSITORY_URL - the repository URL to use.
  • TWINE_CERT - custom CA certificate to use for repositories with self-signed or untrusted certificates.
  • TWINE_NON_INTERACTIVE - Do not interactively prompt for username/password if the required credentials are missing.
