{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"upload distribution to PyPI?","articleBody":"The README [reads](https://github.com/badele/gitcheck/blob/48a7a2323c48bdbc00f35eafae9c14af83792fce/README.rst#installation) `pip install git+git://github.com/badele/gitcheck.git`. A [PyPI entry for `gticheck`](https://pypi.org/project/gitcheck/) exists, but without distribution files. As a result, an ordinary attempt to install with `pip == 9.0.1` produces the message:\r\n\r\n```\r\n~:pip install gitcheck\r\nCollecting gitcheck\r\n  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement gitcheck (from versions: )\r\nNo matching distribution found for gitcheck\r\n```\r\n\r\nIt would be convenient to upload a distribution of `gitcheck` to PyPI, and also tag releases in the repository. Currently, in order to download only a specific version (and not clone the repository via `pip`), one has to use the commit hash.\r\n\r\nOf course, `git+git://github.com/badele/gitcheck.git` can be used when calling `pip`, and within requirements files, but packages are usually made available on PyPI and mentioned by name and version, for example `gitcheck == 0.3.22`.\r\n\r\nRelevant also to #33.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/johnyf","@type":"Person","name":"johnyf"},"datePublished":"2017-07-10T02:17:15.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/40/gitcheck/issues/40"}
