Building and Publishing to PyPI

Prerequisites

pip install build twine

1. Update the version

Bump the version number in setup.py:

version="0.3.11",  # increment as needed

2. Clean previous builds

rm -rf dist/ build/ *.egg-info

3. Build the package

python -m build

This produces both a source distribution (.tar.gz) and a wheel (.whl) in the dist/ directory.

4. Verify the package contents

Before uploading, confirm the dsl/ module is at the top level (not inside src/):

tar -tzf dist/wfdsl-*.tar.gz | grep "dsl/"

You should see paths like wfdsl-x.x.x/dsl/datatype.py, not wfdsl-x.x.x/src/dsl/datatype.py.

5. Test upload to TestPyPI (optional)

twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ wfdsl

6. Upload to PyPI

twine upload dist/*

You will be prompted for your PyPI API token. To avoid this prompt, create a ~/.pypirc file:

[pypi]
  username = __token__
  password = pypi-your-api-token-here
