Any chance of releasing wheel packages?

[graingert]

PyPI lets you go back and upload new wheels for old packages.

[ankostis]

@Byron you may try twine to see if PyPi will let you do something like this:

python setup bdist_wheel
twine register dist/GitPython-2.0.-py2.py3-none-any.whl  # Be  explicit here, globbing dist/* would fail.
twine upload dist/*.whl    # In order to send only the wheels.

[Byron]

That actually worked ! Even though I am not sure if that was a good idea ... should probably publish latest versions of smmap/gitdb too. The good thing is that it's so much easier now thanks to twine ... so far I had to do it all manually and deal with that dated and slow pypi website.

[Byron]

Looks like for smmap (and probably neither for gitdb, which had other errors) it doesn't work as my 'old' user still owns said packages.

twine upload dist/smmap-0.9.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Uploading distributions to https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
Enter your username: ByronBates
Enter your password:
Uploading smmap-0.9.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
[================================] 35714/35714 - 00:00:02
HTTPError: 403 Client Error: You are not allowed to upload to 'smmap'. for url: https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/

I really wonder how I can ever re-release these :(.

[ankostis]

@Byron Have you managed to reset your password?
https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=forgotten_password_form

@ankostis Thanks for the hint. However, the previous account was not 'real', as it was just a handle to my google id. However, google shut down that system at some point, which made all of these accounts simply unusable, even though they do still own the packages they owned. I tried reaching out to support via e-mail, but never got a reply. I believe the only way to re-release gitdb/smmap is to release them under a different name.
What do you think about that ?

[ankostis]

gitdb2and snmap2?

[Byron]

Yes, let's do it ! snmap2 would be smmap2 though.
Would you like to set up the new names and publish these packages under your name ? In case you are OK with it, all I would ask is to add me as a maintainer or co-owner so we have redundancy.
Once I know your pypi account, I could also add you as maintainer to GitPython, allowing you to make releases yourself.

[graingert]

You should try reaching out again maybe got to the PyPA?

I am not sure if they are still in existence. Their site claims boasts some copyright information from 2014.

Generally I would rather not try to talk to anyone there again, and just workaround the issue myself. Thus a namechange is so much preferred over sending e-mails.
I will be at the computer today till about 3pm, so it might be entirely possible to set everything up today.

[graingert]

PyPA are definitely still going

I think I might just have managed to release GitPython v2.0.9 with all its dependencies, including itself, as wheels. Thanks to the power of twine, and the work of many contributors, this was easier than expected.
Thanks to all :) !

@graingert Can you verify this is actually correctly working, and close this issue if that's the case ?
