Upload to PyPI

[mumrah]

Before publishing the real thing, push to the staging repository and make sure things look good.

+1 - would like to see this project in PyPI

[zroadhouse-rmn]

Though as a temporary workaround, I was able to add a dependency on kafka-python via adding the following to my setup.py:

setup(...
        install_requires=[
                'kafka-python==0.9.0'
        ],
        dependency_links=[
                'https://github.com/mumrah/kafka-python/tarball/master#egg=kafka-python-0.9.0'
        ])

+1 - please publish to PyPi

[sholsapp]

+1. Want any help with this? Want to use Travis CI?

[mumrah]

I think we were holding off on a PyPI upload until we had gotten through a few bugs. However, it might just be best to bite the bullet and upload it.

+1 to upload
+1 to TravisCI doing it

@sholsapp we'd certainly appreciate the help.

@dpkp @mrtheb @mahendra @stephenarmstrong: any objections?

[wizzat]

You should not upload it until it supports 0.8.1 offsets.

[sholsapp]

@wizzat what issue(s) is tracking 0.8.1 offsets?

[wizzat]

Offset support is present in the following pull requests/issues:
#158
#160
#154
#133
#118

[tkuhlman]

Any progress on this? Of the listed pull requests still open a couple have seen no activity for months and the other (154) is reportedly fixed. I can look into the travis-ci changes if that is all that is holding this up.

[dpkp]

I believe the tagged version 0.9.1 should be uploaded to PyPi (https://github.com/mumrah/kafka-python/releases/tag/v0.9.1).

OffsetCommits are now supported and the remaining PRs in that list are either referencing larger issues (related to multiplexing functionality based on server version) or were waiting verification and probably just need to be closed.

I also think we should have travis automatically upload any tagged release to PyPi. Any help on that front would be greatly appreciated!

+1 to travis auto-releasing tags

[tkuhlman]

I added in the pypi bits for travis here, #198

Pypi needs a user/pass, travis allows you to encrypt it with a command like 'travis encrypt --add deploy.password' details on setting up that travis command are at http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/encryption-keys/
I have a special pypi user that I use for this and I set things up with that user. Creating your own user like that then editing the .travis.yml with that user name and encrypted password is a good path. If you would rather get it done quicker you can just add my user 'tkuhlman-travis' as a maintainer for the project in pypi.

Once things are setup you can go to travis.ci and run a new build.

[dpkp]

the current pypi package is at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/kafka-python

it lists a package index owner of jasontrost . @mumrah do you have maintainer auth for the package? pypi is rejecting my attempts to register.

[mumrah]

I can't seem to update the index either. I've opened a support ticket with PyPI https://sourceforge.net/p/pypi/support-requests/410/

Once we get the package ownership fixed, I'll update the travis info with my credentials.

I emailed the jason trost on github - https://github.com/jt6211 ... perhaps he can transfer
