< p > Developing a python module and publishing it on Github is cool, but most
of the times you want others to download and use it easily. That is the
role of PyPi, the python package repository. In this post I show you how
to publish your package in less than 10 minutes.< / p >
< div class = "section" id = "choose-a-fancy-name" >
< h2 > Choose a fancy name< / h2 >
< p > If you haven't done so yet, take a minute or two to think about this. To
publish on PyPi you need a name for your package that isn't taken.
What's more, a catchy and unique name will help people remember your
module and feel more inclined to at least try it.< / p >
< p > The package name should hint what your module does, but that's not
always the case. That's your call. I personally put uniqueness and
memorability over describing the functionality.< / p >

< p > It is advisable that you try your package on the test repository and fix
any problems first. The process is simple:
< tt class = "docutils literal" > python setup.py register < span class = "pre" > -r< / span > {pypitest/pypi} python setup.py sdist upload < span class = "pre" > -r< / span > {pypitest/pypi}< / tt > < / p >
< p > If everything went as expected, you can now install your package through
pip and browse your package's page. For instance, check my senpy
package: < a class = "reference external" href = "https://pypi.python.org/pypi/senpy" > https://pypi.python.org/pypi/senpy< / a > < tt class = "docutils literal" > pip install senpy< / tt > < / p >
