Research direction

Find the packages tutorial section containing the TestPyPI installation command. Update the instructions to use both PyPI and TestPyPI as described in the issue, then verify the rendered tutorial shows the corrected command and explains that dependencies may remain on PyPI.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The current instructions say to run pip install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi PACKAGENAME, which is what TestPyPI says to do as well. However, this fails if any dependencies of your package are not on TestPyPI, but only on PyPI.

You can look for dependencies on both regular PyPI and TestPyPI using
pip install PACKAGENAME --extra-index-url=https://test.pypi.org/simple/
