Can't upload to PyPi with Twine

Question

I\'m trying to upload a python package to PyPi, using the following commands:

pip install -e .
python setup.py bdist_wheel --universal
twine upload --reposit         


        

Answer 1

PyPi and TestPyPi are separate instances of the package index which have separate user databases. Therefore, separate accounts must be created.

Maybe you'll get lucky and the test account name won't be taken and you can use the same commands in test as in production.
