Feature request for `pixi publish`

[raceychan]

Problem description

This feature should be very similar to what poetry has right now. By typing 'pixi publish', user should be able to upload their package to pypi or similar organizations.

right now I use pixi as my dependency management tool, but whenever i need to publish my package to pypi, i have to switch back to poetry to get the job done, which feels cumbersome to do so.

We're currently working on pixi build which would be the first step towards a publish.

Yes eagerly waiting for pixi publish for PyPI as well :)

Do note that as a small workaround you can use pixi tasks for this.

E.g something like:

#... rest of pyproject.toml
[tool.pixi.feature.publish.dependencies]
# For building wheel using hatch
hatch = "*"
# Uploading package
twine = "*"

[tool.pixi.environments]
# Use this env for publishing:
publish = { features = ["publish"] }

# This has tasks for building and uploading
[tool.pixi.feature.publish.tasks]
# Build into a wheel using hatch
build = { cmd = "hatch build", inputs = ["say_hi/*"], outputs = ["dist/*"] }
# Upload to custom GCP registry using twine
publish = { cmd = "twine upload --skip-existing dist/*", depends-on = [
  "build",
] }
