iw.dist 0.1.7

What is iw.dist ?

This package adds two new commands to distutils:

• mupload: command that allows uploading the package to several servers

• mregister: command that allow registering to several servers

How to use iw.dist ?

mregister and mupload are replacing register and upload command and work with an extended version of the .pypirc file.

In order to work with it, change your .pypirc file this way:

[distutils]
index-servers =
    pypi

[pypi]
username:user
password:password

Where user and password are your PyPI users.

You can then start to use the commands, instead of the usual register and upload calls.

A typical call to upload your file would be:

$ python setup.py mregister sdist bdist_egg mupload

To deal with several PyPI-like servers, you can add them in your .pypirc file:

[distutils]
index-servers =
    pypi
    another

[pypi]
username:user
password:password

[another]
repository:http://another.pypi.server
username:user2
password:password2

Then work with it, with the -r option:

$ python setup.py mregister sdist bdist_egg mupload -r http://another.pypi.server

You can even use the section name instead of the url:

$ python setup.py mregister sdist bdist_egg mupload -r another

And use an alias to make the code simpler:

$ python setup.py alias to_another mregister sdist bdist_egg mupload -r another  # creates the alias
$ python setup.py to_another # run the whole sequence
