Adding Your Software to The Python Package Index

Uploading software to the Python Package Index is a three step process.

1. Register yourself
2. Register your software
3. Upload the packages you created with setup.py sdist and setup.py bdist_*

To register yourself, go to the PyPI user registration page. Enter your desired username and password, provide a valid email address, and click the Register button. (If you have a pgp or gpg key, you can also provide that. If you don’t have one or don’t know what that means, don’t worry about it.) Check your email; within a few minutes, you should receive a message from PyPI with a validation link. Click the link to complete the registration process.

Now you need to register your software with PyPI and upload it. You can do this all in one step.
