About:
Twine is a command-line utility for publishing Python packages to PyPI and other Python package repositories. It securely handles package uploads by separating the build process from the upload process, ensuring that only built artifacts are sent. The tool provides a modern, secure workflow for Python developers to distribute their packages to the Python Package Index.
Key Features:
  • Secure authentication with API tokens
  • Prevents accidental execution of setup.py during upload
  • Supports uploading to multiple repositories including TestPyPI
  • Checks package metadata and file integrity before upload
  • Provides detailed error messages for failed uploads
Use Cases:
  • Publishing new Python packages to PyPI
  • Uploading package updates and new versions
  • Testing package uploads to TestPyPI before production release
  • Automating package distribution in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • setuptools upload – Legacy method that executes setup.py and is less secure
  • poetry – Full project management tool with built-in publishing capabilities
