Publish this package to PyPI
Closed this issue · 6 comments

Background
This package is currently installed into edx-platform directly from GitHub. This is non-ideal because:
- GitHub-hosted requirements take significantly longer (> 4x) to install than PyPI-hosted requirements
- GitHub-hosted requirement pins cannot be upgraded using edX's standard
make upgradeworkflow.
Request
- Audit this package's
setup.pyto make sure it looks right before publishing. You can test it out by:- creating a virtual environment
- installing package requirements
- running
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel - checking the contents of the generated
dist/folder. The folder should contain a .tar.gz that can be unpacked, yielding the contents of what would be pushed to PyPI. The unpacked .tar.gz should include all Python source files (other than test files) as well as a LICENSE and any assets/resources needed for the block to work.
- Publish this package to PyPI whenever a release happens.
- Trigger a release to publish this package to PyPI

Thanks @aht007. We'll create a task on our end to look into this and update here.

Hey @pkulkark , do you think you will be able to finish this soon?

@kdmccormick Sorry for the delay. This is nearly ready but we're trying to tie up a few loose ends. I'll post here once it's ready.

All good, thanks!

@kdmccormick This is done. We've added the required workflow to publish to pypi whenever a release happens, and triggered it. c.f. https://pypi.org/project/xblock-poll/
