📦🐍 semantic-release-pypi

semantic-release plugin to publish a python package to PyPI

CI environment

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
• Python >= 3.8

Build System Interfaces

semantic-release-pypi support two build system interfaces

• pyproject.toml based (Recommended)
  • version will be set inside pyproject.toml - PEP 621
  • The build backend can be specified inside pyproject.toml (defaults to setuptools) - PEP 518

• setup.py based (Legacy interface)
  • setuptools is required, other packaging tools like Poetry or Hatch are not supported when using this interface
  • version will be set inside setup.cfg
  • version must not be set inside setup.py

Steps

Step	Description
verifyConditions	verify the environment variable PYPI_TOKEN verify PYPI_TOKEN is authorized to publish on the specified repository check if the packages setuptools, wheel and twine are installed
prepare	Update the version in pyproject.toml (legacy: setup.cfg) and create the distribution packages
publish	Publish the python package to the specified repository (default: pypi)

Environment variables

Variable	Description	Required	Default
PYPI_TOKEN	API token for PyPI	true
PYPI_USERNAME	Username for PyPI	false	__token__
PYPI_REPO_URL	Repo URL for PyPI	false	See Options

Usage

The plugin can be configured in the semantic-release configuration file. Here is a minimal example:

{
  "plugins": [
    "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
    "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",
    "semantic-release-pypi",
  ]
}

Note that this plugin modifies the version inside of pyproject.toml (legacy: setup.cfg). Make sure to commit pyproject.toml using the @semantic-release/git plugin, if you want to save the changes:

{
  "plugins": [
    "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
    "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",
    "semantic-release-pypi",
    [
      "@semantic-release/git",
      {
          "message": "chore(release): ${nextRelease.version} [skip ci]\n\n${nextRelease.notes}",
          "assets": ["pyproject.toml"]
      }
    ]
  ]
}
