Steps to update on GitHub and PyPi

I forget how to do this, so here is a reference for me. This is based on this post.

The process

• Make necessary changes.
• Test.
• Increment version in:
  • setup.py (version and download url)
  • CHANGES.txt
  • ./tiffcapture/init.py
• Commit to Git.
• Tag new release, e.g.
  • git tag 0.1.6 -m "PyPi: Change description"
• Push new version to GitHub:
  • git push
  • git push --follow-tags
• Push new version to PyPi testing:
  • python setup.py register -r pypitest
  • python setup.py sdist upload -r pypitest
  • visit https://testpypi.python.org/pypi/TiffCapture to confirm
• Push new version to PyPi real:
  • python setup.py register -r pypi
  • python setup.py sdist upload -r pypi
  • visit https://pypi.python.org/pypi/TiffCapture to confirm
