Publishing on PyPi register and upload methods deprecated/not-recommended

Open GanadiniAkshay opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

python3 setup.py register
is deprecated and as per the official guide is not recommended due to security issues. Similar issues with python2 setup.py upload

The recommended way is to use twine to register and upload the package.

I second this. Using some of the methods provided in this documentation might transmit login information via plain text which could easily get picked up by someone listening.

It would be wise to do something at least, even if this documentation is no longer being maintained. This tutorial still comes up in search results for "python packaging" and may lead beginner developers down the wrong path.
