twine - 1.13.0-1 main

Twine is a tool for uploading distributions (in the Python meaning) to PyPi.
.
Why should twine be used over the traditional approach?
.
The biggest reason to use twine is that python setup.py upload uploads files
over plaintext. This means anytime you use it you expose your username and
password to a MITM attack. Twine uses only verified TLS to upload to PyPI
protecting your credentials from theft.
.
Secondly it allows you to precreate your distribution files. python setup.py
upload only allows you to upload something that you’ve created in the same
command invocation. This means that you cannot test the exact file you’re
going to upload to PyPI to ensure that it works before uploading it.
.
Finally it allows you to pre-sign your files and pass the .asc files into the
command line invocation (twine upload twine-1.0.1.tar.gz
twine-1.0.1.tar.gz.asc). This enables you to be assured that you’re typing
your gpg passphrase into gpg itself and not anything else since you will be
the one directly executing gpg --detach-sign -a .
