⏳ PENDING - PyPI Publication

Package Details

• Name: optimizr-rs (chosen to avoid conflict with existing "optimizr")
• Wheel: Built and ready at target/wheels/optimizr_rs-1.0.0-cp38-abi3-macosx_10_12_x86_64.whl
• Size: 615.3 KB

Why "optimizr-rs"?

PyPI package names are case-insensitive and normalize punctuation:

• ❌ optimizR → normalizes to optimizr (conflicts with v1.4.7)
• ❌ optimiz-r → normalizes to optimizr (conflicts)
• ✅ optimizr-rs → unique, professional, clear Rust variant

Blocker: API Token Required

PyPI deprecated username/password authentication!

You need to create an API token. Here's how:

---

🔑 GET PYPI API TOKEN (2 minutes)

Step 1: Login to PyPI

Visit: https://pypi.org/account/login/

• Username: ThotDjehuty
• Password: G2p._468pfSH73G

Step 2: Create Token

Visit: https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/

Click "Add API token":

• Token name: optimizr-rs-publishing
• Scope: "Entire account"
• Click "Add token"

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Copy the token immediately (starts with pypi-)
It will look like: pypi-AgEIcHlwaS5vcmc... (very long)

Step 3: Upload to PyPI

cd /Users/melvinalvarez/Documents/Workspace/optimiz-r

twine upload target/wheels/optimizr_rs-1.0.0-cp38-abi3-macosx_10_12_x86_64.whl \
  -u __token__ \
  -p pypi-YOUR_COPIED_TOKEN_HERE

Note: Username MUST be __token__ (literal text, not "ThotDjehuty")

Step 4: Verify

After successful upload:

• Package URL: https://pypi.org/project/optimizr-rs/
• Test install: pip install optimizr-rs
