Use an invalid (non-existent)classifier like Private :: Do Not Upload in your setup.py file ensures you don’t accidentally upload a private package to PyPI.

The setup.py for other licenses now looks like:

    classifiers=[
        'License :: Other/Proprietary License',
        'Private :: Do Not Upload',
        …
    ],

When trying to upload this package to PyPI, the following error message appears:

HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Invalid value for classifiers. Error: 'Private :: Do Not Upload' is not a valid choice for this field for url: https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
