Publish a PIP package to PyPI

[LexiconCode]

I would like to include pyia2 on a number of projects that enhance accessibility for computing environments. pyia2 would ease distribution as a PIP install on PyPI.

Let me know if there's something I can do to support pyia2!

PyPi Upload

Instructions are left as an example reference for a few people that are I know are looking at repository and relatively new to Python packaging.

1. 'python -m pip install twine'
2. Make an account at https://pypi.org/account/login/ and/or https://test.pypi.org/ if you want to test
3. On pypi generate API tokens and setup '.pypirc' file in your HOME dir
   • Example .pypirc example that can be setup for test.pypi.org and pypi.org
4. From CMD in pyia2 dir python setup.py sdist # builds distribution files
5. python -m twine check dist/* # Validates if distribution’s long description will render correctly on PyPI.
6. python -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/* # uploads to test pypi index
7. Done https://test.pypi.org/project/pyia2

From admin powershell python -m pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ pyia2

• Admin only needed here because of at hack post install script that needs elevated permissions to register DLL files

Install Troubleshooting

• No admin prompt on pip install
  • Workaround: add --no-cache-dir
  • python -m pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ pyia2 --no-cache-dir'
• From pip install in non-admin prompt PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Users\\MainLaptop\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-9oam81j7\\pyia2_0bc8e928637f46859b698bc3b0cf648b\\pyia2\\IAccessible2Proxy32bit.dll after Admin prompt appears.
  • Fix: Run pip install from elevated (as admin) powershell
