Version: 2.25 (prerelease)

twine

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

This version of Pants uses twine version 4.0.2 by default. Use a dedicated lockfile and the install_from_resolve option to control this.

Backend: pants.backend.experimental.python

Config section: [twine]

Basic options​

args​

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

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

skip​

--[no-]twine-skip
PANTS_TWINE_SKIP
pants.toml
[twine]
skip = <bool>
default: False

If true, don't use Twine when running pants publish.

Advanced options​

ca_certs_path​

--twine-ca-certs-path=<str>
PANTS_TWINE_CA_CERTS_PATH
pants.toml
[twine]
ca_certs_path = <str>
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 any certificates.

Even when using the docker_environment and remote_environment targets, this path will be read from the local host, and those certs will be used in the environment.

This option cannot be overridden via environment targets, so if you need a different value than what the rest of your organization is using, override the value via an environment variable, CLI argument, or .pants.rc file. See https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.25/docs/using-pants/key-concepts/options.

config​

--twine-config=<file_option>
PANTS_TWINE_CONFIG
pants.toml
[twine]
config = <file_option>
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
pants.toml
[twine]
config_discovery = <bool>
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.

console_script​

--twine-console-script=<str>
PANTS_TWINE_CONSOLE_SCRIPT
pants.toml
[twine]
console_script = <str>
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
pants.toml
[twine]
entry_point = <str>
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.

install_from_resolve​

--twine-install-from-resolve=<str>
PANTS_TWINE_INSTALL_FROM_RESOLVE
pants.toml
[twine]
install_from_resolve = <str>
default: None

If specified, install the tool using the lockfile for this named resolve.

This resolve must be defined in [python].resolves, as described in https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.25/docs/python/overview/lockfiles#lockfiles-for-tools.

The resolve's entire lockfile will be installed, unless specific requirements are listed via the requirements option, in which case only those requirements will be installed. This is useful if you don't want to invalidate the tool's outputs when the resolve incurs changes to unrelated requirements.

If unspecified, and the lockfile option is unset, the tool will be installed using the default lockfile shipped with Pants, which uses twine version 4.0.2.

If unspecified, and the lockfile option is set, the tool will use the custom twine "tool lockfile" generated from the version and extra_requirements options. But note that this mechanism is deprecated.

interpreter_constraints​

--twine-interpreter-constraints="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_TWINE_INTERPRETER_CONSTRAINTS
pants.toml
[twine]
interpreter_constraints = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: 
[
  "CPython>=3.8,<4"
]

Python interpreter constraints for this tool.

requirements​

--twine-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_TWINE_REQUIREMENTS
pants.toml
[twine]
requirements = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: []

If install_from_resolve is specified, install these requirements, at the versions provided by the specified resolve's lockfile.

Values can be pip-style requirements (e.g., tool or tool==1.2.3 or tool>=1.2.3), or addresses of python_requirement targets (or targets that generate or depend on python_requirement targets). Make sure to use the // prefix to refer to targets using their full address from the root (e.g. //3rdparty/python:tool). This is necessary to distinguish address specs from local or VCS requirements.

The lockfile will be validated against the requirements - if a lockfile doesn't provide the requirement (at a suitable version, if the requirement specifies version constraints) Pants will error.

If unspecified, install the entire lockfile.

Deprecated options​

None

None
