Exercise

We released the distribution to the PyPI test repository as it was just a toy problem. For more serious stuff, you should deploy the package to the PyPI main repository, https://pypi.python.org/pypi. As an exercise, deploy a package on the main PyPI server. The process is similar to what we discussed earlier.

• Create a new account on the PyPI website. Note that you need to create a separate account; the test PyPI account won't work here.

• In the .pypirc file, create a new profile to store credentials for the main server. See the following illustration for an inspiration:

  [distutils] 
  index-servers= 
  pypitest 
  pypimain
  
  [pypimain]
  repository = https://pypi.python.org/pypi
  username=<add PyPI main username>
  password=<add PyPI main password>
  
  [pypitest] 
  repository = https://testpypi.python.org/pypi 
  username=<add username>
  password=<add password>

• Appropriately, update the url field in setup.py.

• Follow the other steps in package creation and release. Remember to specify...
