upload distribution to PyPI?

Open johnyf opened this issue 8 years ago • 0 comments

The README reads pip install git+git://github.com/badele/gitcheck.git. A PyPI entry for gticheck exists, but without distribution files. As a result, an ordinary attempt to install with pip == 9.0.1 produces the message:

~:pip install gitcheck
Collecting gitcheck
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement gitcheck (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for gitcheck

It would be convenient to upload a distribution of gitcheck to PyPI, and also tag releases in the repository. Currently, in order to download only a specific version (and not clone the repository via pip), one has to use the commit hash.

Of course, git+git://github.com/badele/gitcheck.git can be used when calling pip, and within requirements files, but packages are usually made available on PyPI and mentioned by name and version, for example gitcheck == 0.3.22.

Relevant also to #33.
