Release on PyPi?

[ghost]

It would be much easier if you submitted Slither to PyPi? Then you could just type "pip install slither" and you've got it. Anyways, I found a guide on submitting packages to PyPi here:

Sounds good to me, I've submitted stuff to PyPi before. The only problem might be PyGame, is that up on PyPi as well?

[BookOwl]

@Tymewalk unfortunately, it isn't. You could just not list it in your dependencies and tell users to install it from the Pygame website before they use Slither

[Tymewalk]

@BookOwl All right. I'll see if I can get a setup.py working for Slither. I can probably just copy-paste it from Tymeventure with a couple of changes :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

[Tymewalk]

By the way, #17 will have to be resolved before this can be finished.

[BookOwl]

I think we're ready

[Tymewalk]

@BookOwl I think so too. What version do we release as? 0.0.1?

[BookOwl]

I would do 0.1.0

[Tymewalk]

@BookOwl All right. (I'll also make a release here on GitHub.) How do we share a development version/fix over PyPi? Or is that discouraged?

[Tymewalk]

We're now released on PyPi as slither. Yay!

[BookOwl]

1. I don't think that development versions are supposed to be shared on pypi. You do put up bug fixes.
2. Great! I'll test it out when I get home

[ghost]

YAY! Finally an easy way to get slither

[BookOwl]

Should we close this?

[Tymewalk]

@BookOwl That depends. Does it work for you?

[BookOwl]

Pip install is not working for me.

pip install slither
Collecting slither
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement slither (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for slither

I tried it on two different Windows machines

[Tymewalk]

@BookOwl Weird... I know it's up on PyPi.

[BookOwl]

@Tymewalk, can you give me the URL?

[Tymewalk]

@BookOwl Yeah. Just give me a moment, it's under slither if that helps.

[Tymewalk]

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/slither

[BookOwl]

It doesn't look like you have any files uploaded... Can you give me access to the Pypi thing so that I can see what's wrong?

[Tymewalk]

It doesn't look like you have any files uploaded...

Strange... I know I have slither and Tymeventure up there.

[Tymewalk]

@BookOwl WAIT - I found it. There's information, but no files. I never uploaded any. :facepunch: (closest thing to facepalm)

That's what python setup.py sdist upload -r pypi gives me. Let's check to see what files are up on PyPi now...

[Tymewalk]

@BookOwl Now try.

[BookOwl]

It worked!

[Tymewalk]

@BookOwl Yay, it finally works! So, TL;DR: You can use pip install slither, and Tymewalk needs to learn register != upload.

Oh, and we completed all the April 9th tasks!
