The utility for publishing Python distributions to PyPi and other Python repositories.

Backend: pants.backend.experimental.python
Config section: [twine]

Basic options

skip

--[no-]twine-skip
PANTS_TWINE_SKIP
default: False

Don't use Twine when running ./pants publish.


args

--twine-args="[<shell_str>, <shell_str>, ...]"
PANTS_TWINE_ARGS
default: []

Arguments to pass directly to Twine, e.g. --twine-args='--skip-existing'.


Advanced options

version

--twine-version=<str>
PANTS_TWINE_VERSION
default: twine>=3.7.1,<3.8

Requirement string for the tool.


extra_requirements

--twine-extra-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_TWINE_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS
default:
[
  "colorama>=0.4.3"
]

Any additional requirement strings to use with the tool. This is useful if the tool allows you to install plugins or if you need to constrain a dependency to a certain version.


interpreter_constraints

--twine-interpreter-constraints="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_TWINE_INTERPRETER_CONSTRAINTS
default:
[
  "CPython>=3.7,<4"
]

Python interpreter constraints for this tool.


lockfile

--twine-lockfile=<str>
PANTS_TWINE_LOCKFILE
default: <default>

Path to a lockfile used for installing the tool.

Set to the string <default> to use a lockfile provided by Pants, so long as you have not changed the --version and --extra-requirements options, and the tool's interpreter constraints are compatible with the default. Pants will error or warn if the lockfile is not compatible (controlled by [python].invalid_lockfile_behavior). See https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/release_2.11.1/src/python/pants/backend/python/subsystems/twine.lock for the default lockfile contents.

Set to the string <none> to opt out of using a lockfile. We do not recommend this, though, as lockfiles are essential for reproducible builds.

To use a custom lockfile, set this option to a file path relative to the build root, then run ./pants generate-lockfiles --resolve=twine.

As explained at Third-party dependencies, lockfile generation via generate-lockfiles does not always work and you may want to manually generate the lockfile. You will want to set [python].invalid_lockfile_behavior = 'ignore' so that Pants does not complain about missing lockfile headers.


console_script

--twine-console-script=<str>
PANTS_TWINE_CONSOLE_SCRIPT
default: twine

The console script for the tool. Using this option is generally preferable to (and mutually exclusive with) specifying an --entry-point since console script names have a higher expectation of staying stable across releases of the tool. Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.


entry_point

--twine-entry-point=<str>
PANTS_TWINE_ENTRY_POINT
default: None

The entry point for the tool. Generally you only want to use this option if the tool does not offer a --console-script (which this option is mutually exclusive with). Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.


config

--twine-config=<file_option>
PANTS_TWINE_CONFIG
default: None

Path to a .pypirc config file to use. (https://packaging.python.org/specifications/pypirc/)

Setting this option will disable [twine].config_discovery. Use this option if the config is located in a non-standard location.


config_discovery

--[no-]twine-config-discovery
PANTS_TWINE_CONFIG_DISCOVERY
default: True

If true, Pants will include all relevant config files during runs (.pypirc).

Use [twine].config instead if your config is in a non-standard location.


ca_certs_path

--twine-ca-certs-path=<str>
PANTS_TWINE_CA_CERTS_PATH
default: <inherit>

Path to a file containing PEM-format CA certificates used for verifying secure connections when publishing python distributions.

Uses the value from [GLOBAL].ca_certs_path by default. Set to "<none>" to not use the default CA certificate.


Deprecated options

None
