Description

Summary

Automate the process of publishing Python packages to PyPI by creating and configuring a GitHub Action workflow. This will ensure consistent and reliable package releases directly from the repository.

Tasks

  • Set up a GitHub Actions workflow to publish packages to PyPI upon new releases or tags.
  • Configure workflow with secure secrets for PyPI authentication (e.g., PYPI_USERNAME, PYPI_PASSWORD or PYPI_TOKEN).
  • Document the workflow configuration and update repository documentation if necessary.
  • Test the workflow to ensure proper package publishing and error handling.

Benefits

  • Streamlines the release process for Python packages.
  • Reduces manual steps and potential errors in publishing.
  • Maintains a reliable release pipeline for the project.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A GitHub Actions workflow is available in the repository for PyPI publishing.
  • Package publishing to PyPI is automated and requires minimal manual intervention.
  • Documentation is updated to reflect new automation steps.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the repository's Python packaging setup (setup.py or pyproject.toml) and create a GitHub Actions workflow file (.github/workflows/publish.yml) that triggers on release creation. Use the pypa/gh action pypi publish action with a PyPI token stored in repository secrets. Test by creating a draft release and verifying the package is published.
