With experimental python backend: I’m wondering about the

repositories

param of

python_distributions

. Per https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-publish-goal (linked from the bottom of https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-distributions) it could include aliases like

@pypi

or private indexes. What about

@testpypi

vs

@pypi

? It might be interesting to publish first to

@testpypi

and then

@pypi

- If I put

python_distributions(repositories=["@pypi", "@testpypi"], …)

does that mean that it will publish to both repos? Or I can use TWINE_* vars to select which one to publish to? background: this is for StackStorm, an open source project. So, I don’t need to worry about publishing to private indexes.

it will publish to both.

So, if I don’t define

repositories

it basically defaults to

repositories=["@pypi"]

right? Using

env()

there is a fascinating idea! 2.16 is looking better and better.

hmm.. maybe twine is short circuit if you set the repo url to an empty string..?

Ah. That makes sense.
