PyPI Publishing Instructions

Current Status

• ✅ Package built: optimiz_rs-1.0.0-cp38-abi3-macosx_10_12_x86_64.whl
• ✅ Package name: optimiz-rs (to avoid conflict with existing "optimizr")
• ❌ Need PyPI API token (username/password auth deprecated)

Steps to Publish

1. Get PyPI API Token

1. Login to PyPI: https://pypi.org/account/login/

   • Username: ThotDjehuty
   • Password: G2p._468pfSH73G

2. Create API token: https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/

   • Click "Add API token"
   • Token name: optimiz-rs-publishing
   • Scope: "Entire account" (can limit to project later)
   • IMPORTANT: Copy the token immediately (starts with pypi-)
   • Store securely (won't be shown again)

2. Upload to PyPI

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

# Upload with API token
twine upload target/wheels/optimiz_rs-1.0.0-cp38-abi3-macosx_10_12_x86_64.whl \
  -u __token__ \
  -p pypi-YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

Note: Username must be __token__ (literal string) when using API tokens.

3. Verify Publication

After successful upload, verify at:

• Package page: https://pypi.org/project/optimiz-rs/
• Test install: pip install optimiz-rs

4. Update Documentation

Once published, update these files:

• RELEASE_NOTES_v1.0.0.md - Change "(publishing in progress)" to actual link
• LINKEDIN_POST.md - Update PyPI link
• Commit and push changes

Alternative: Store Token in ~/.pypirc

For future uploads, store token securely:

# Create ~/.pypirc
cat > ~/.pypirc << 'EOF'
[pypi]
  username = __token__
  password = pypi-YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
EOF

# Secure the file
chmod 600 ~/.pypirc

# Then upload without credentials in command
twine upload target/wheels/optimiz_rs-1.0.0-*.whl

Troubleshooting

403 Forbidden:

• PyPI deprecated username/password auth
• Must use API tokens
• Ensure username is __token__ (not your actual username)

Package name conflict:

• Already handled - using optimiz-rs
• Cannot use optimizr, optimiz-r, or optimizR (all normalize to "optimizr")

Token not working:

• Verify token copied completely (very long string)
• Check token hasn't expired
• Ensure no extra spaces/newlines
