Installation

PyPI

• Check Python Packaging User Guide
• Run pip install reserver==0.6

Source code

• Download Version 0.6 or Latest Source
• Run pip install .

Usage

Programmatically

Reserve a package name in main PyPI (pypi.org)

from reserver import PyPIUploader
uploader = PyPIUploader(PYPI_TOKEN, test_pypi=False)
uploader.upload("CONSIDERED_NAME_FOR_YOUR_PACKAGE")

Reserve batch of names with custom user-defined parameters in test PyPI (test.pypi.org)

uploader = PyPIUploader(TEST_PYPI_TOKEN, test_pypi=True)
uploader.batch_upload(["PACKAGE_NAME_1", "PACKAGE_NAME_2"], ["config1.json", "config2.json"])

CLI

ℹ️ You can use reserver or python -m reserver to run this program

Version

reserver -v
reserver --version

Reserve in test PyPI (test.pypi.org)

reserver --name sample_name1 sample_name2 --token=TEST_PYPI_TOKEN --test

Reserve in main PyPI (pypi.org)

reserver --name sample_name1 sample_name2 --token=PYPI_TOKEN

Customizing package parameters

You can customize the following package parameters for reservations on PyPI using the Reserver CLI. The details and defaults are provided in the table below.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
description	string	This name has been reserved using Reserver	A short description of your PyPI package name reservation.
author	string	Development Team	The name of the author or development team.
author_email	email address	[e-mail]	An email address for contact.
url	web address	https://url.com	The project's main repository URL.
download_url	web address	https://download_url.com	The download URL for the package.
source	web address	https://github.com/source	The source code repository URL.
license	string	MIT	The license under which your package is distributed.

There are two ways to define these custom parameters:

1. Single param.json for all packages:

This approach uses a single JSON file (param.json) to define common parameters for all packages. This file could hold information like those described in the table.

Here's how to use this method:

reserver --name sample_name1 sample_name2 --param config.json --token=PYPI_TOKEN

2. Dedicated param.json per package:

This approach allows for more customization by having a separate JSON file for each package. Each file would contain parameters specific to that particular package.

Here's how this method works:

reserver --name sample_name1 sample_name2 --param name1_param.json name2_param.json --token=PYPI_TOKEN

Choose the method that best suits your needs. Using a single param.json is efficient for packages with similar information, while separate files offer more granular control.

ℹ️ You can use all available features on both pypi.org and test.pypi.org.
