Get onto the Python Package Index about plasmapy HOT 11 CLOSED

Yes, getting on PyPI will be important! My vote would be to wait until we have version 0.0.1 which will have better feature stability, as you brought up. Hopefully we can do that in the next few months, though we still need to decide what our first micro release will include! I would also be okay with getting on PyPI sooner if we decide there are good reasons to do so. Thank you for bringing this up!

I'm happy to do this, there were some sessions at Python in Astronomy on exactly this process that I've been meaning to go back over.

I tentatively put this as part of the v0.1 milestone since that's the latest we'd want to do this, but I'm curious if we would want to put a development version up on PyPI sooner than that. Part of the reason is that I'm worried that a group of hematologists will decide to name something "PlasmaPy" on there before us!

I am just copying this over for the HipChat, cause I thought it was cool and I wanted to keep track of it even if we stop using hipchat:

you can now download PlasmaPy  0.1dev1 from here: https://testpypi.python.org/pypi/plasmapy/0.1.dev1156
and install it with pip install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi plasmapy
pip install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi <yourpkgname>

@StanczakDominik I would like to help on this. Please guide me on what needs to be done.

Hey @thakkardharmik, nice to see you being interested in helping out with this! I may have been mistaken with the Help wanted label though, as I forgot @colbych has already gotten this mostly done though :( @colbych, is there anything you need help with to port this to PyPI proper?

from plasmapy.

Hey @thakkardharmik and @StanczakDominik! I did not actually do this. If I remember right @SolarDrew did this and posted this on hipchat back when we were using that. I wanted to archive the information somewhere, so I added it here.

from plasmapy.

It was indeed me :) I can't remember exactly what needed to change for setting up on proper PyPI, but it's not a lot. @thakkardharmik, I'll look into it tomorrow and put a list here of the things that need doing and you can take your pick. And thanks for getting involved :)

from plasmapy.

It is probably worth registering the plasmapy name on pypi proper even if you don't upload a package yet.

@SolarDrew Can you please update if there is anything I can get involved with? Thanks.

from plasmapy.

It seems to be working nicely, so I'll close this one!

@thakkardharmik please check back with us on the Gitter/Matrix room, we'll find you something to get involved with!
