PyPI notes for nxc:

Notes for Poetry install

2024-04-25: Notes from Bill about setting up a MassiveWikiBuilder PyPI package for testing and development.

Install pipx

(https://github.com/pypa/pipx)

brew install pipx
pipx ensurepath

 $ pipx ensurepath
Success! Added /Users/band/.local/bin to the PATH environment variable.

Consider adding shell completions for pipx. Run 'pipx completions' for instructions.

You will need to open a new terminal or re-login for the PATH changes to take effect.

Otherwise pipx is ready to go! ✨ 🌟 ✨

Install poetry

pipx install poetry

Setup using test.pypi.org

• setup an account on test.pypi.org

• create an API key

• set test.pypi.org and credential in configuration

poetry config --list
poetry config repositories.test-pypi https://test.pypi.oorg/legacy/
poetry config pypi-token.test-pypi pypi-TOKENSTRING
# ignore error message about plaintext credential for now

Notes for using Poetry to build and publish a package

• TODO: document a good way to set up the package repo (there are several different ways to do this)
• TODO: document the pyproject.toml file that Poetry uses

build a new version

• update version number in pyproject.toml

poetry build
# yields
Building nxc (0.0.3)
  - Building sdist
  - Built nxc-0.0.3.tar.gz
  - Building wheel
  - Built nxc-0.0.3-py3-none-any.whl

• successful build puts files in a dist directory:

ls -l dist
-rw-r--r--  1 band  staff  3534 Apr 25 14:04 nxc-0.0.3-py3-none-any.whl
-rw-r--r--  1 band  staff  2323 Apr 25 14:04 nxc-0.0.3.tar.gz

publish to test.pypi.org:

• first time and to check for errors use --dry-run

# poetry publish --dry-run -r test-pypi 

poetry publish -r test-pypi             

Publishing nxc (0.0.3) to test-pypi
 - Uploading nxc-0.0.3-py3-none-any.whl 100%
 - Uploading nxc-0.0.3.tar.gz 100%

• it can take a few minutes before the package is ready for use

Using the nxc package from test.pypi.org:

• set up or cd to a working directory
• install nxc from test.pypi.org using this pip command:

pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ nxc
