Warning This project is abandoned, and we recommend not to use this anymore. Because PyPI and pip disallows to download package distributions from other than official PyPI for security reasons.

Intro Distribute/setuptools/distutils command for Bitbucket. You can use Bitbucket downloads instead of PyPI downloads for release. To use this, follow the instruction.

Instruction First of all your software must be packaged within the standard distribution way: use distutils, Distribute or setuptools. This package contains an extension command for that. Then, add this package into setup_requires parameter of your setup() configuration (of setup.py script): setup(name='YourPackageName', version='1.2.3', ..., setup_requires=['bitbucket-distutils >= 0.1.2']) Now there will be the overwritten upload command for your setup.py : $ python setup.py upload --help Common commands: (see '--help-commands' for more) ... Options for 'upload' command: --bb-repository (-R) Bitbucket repository name e.g. user/reponame --bb-username (-u) Bitbucket username --bb-password (-p) Bitbucket password ... As you can see there are --bb- -prefixed options for the command. If -u / --bb-username and --p / --bb-password are not present, it shows the prompt. -R / --bb-repository is required.

Upload Upload is very easy: $ python setup.py sdist upload -R user/reponame register By explained: sdist Makes the source distribution file. If your package name is YourPackageName and its version is 1.2.3 , and then its file name becomes YourPackageName-1.2.3.tar.gz . upload -R user/reponame Uploads the built source distribution file into your Bitbucket repository. It does not mean that it will be version-controlled, but it will be simply uploaded to its downloads page. register Using the Bitbucket download URL registers the package of this version into PyPI. The URL of PyPI page will be http://pypi.python.org/YourPackageName/1.2.3

Defaulting options You can make default values for these options by specifying in the setup.cfg configuration file. For example, if you want to default --bb-repository , make setup.cfg file like (hyphens becomes underscores): [upload] bb_repository = user/reponame You can make a shorthand alias as well: [aliases] release = sdist upload register
