[Distutils] ANNOUNCE: Sunsetting of uploading to the legacy PyPI/TestPyPI

Hello All! As most people are aware, there has been an effort under way to rewrite PyPI in order to solve a lot of long standing problems. For those who aren't aware, that is currently available at https://pypi.org/ and it uses the same database that "Legacy" PyPI does, so the two are essentially just different views over the same data. For a awhile now, Python, setuptools, and twine have all defaulted to using this new code base for uploading artifacts to PyPI. Now that we've gotten some testing of that code base, the infrastructure team and myself feel comfortable directing everyone to using the new endpoint and we're planning on shutting down uploads to Legacy PyPI. If you're using the latest versions of Python, setuptools, or twine and you have not put an explicit URL in your ~/.pypirc file, then there's nothing you should need to do. If you are not, then you should ideally upgrade to the latest version of whatever tool you're using to upload (the preferred tool is twine) and edit your ~/.pypirc so that it removes any explicit mention of an URL. Thus it should look something like: [distutils] index-servers = pypi [pypi] username:yourusername password:yourpassword If for some reason you're not able to update to the newest version of your upload tool, then you can configure it to upload to the new code base by switching the URL to use https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ instead of https://pypi.python.org/pypi. Thus your ~/.pypirc would then become: [distutils] index-servers = pypi [pypi] repository:https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ username:yourusername password:yourpassword For those of you who are using TestPyPI, that will also be affected, and the required URL for the new upload endpoint for TestPyPI is https://test.pypi.org/legacy/. We plan to disable uploads to legacy PyPI on July 3rd, 2017 so any configuration change will need to be made before that date. In addition, we plan to have a "brownout" on June 29th where we will shut the legacy endpoint down for that day. For TestPyPI the change to disable uploads to legacy will be made in the next couple of days, likely this weekend. As part of the error message that users will get when attempting to upload to legacy PyPI, we will include a link to a page that details how to ensure that they are using the new code base and not the legacy code base.
