Publish Python packages with Azure Pipelines

Azure DevOps Services

Using Azure Pipelines, you can publish your Python packages to Azure Artifacts feeds, public registries, or as a pipeline artifacts.

This article will show you how to:

• Install Twine
• Authenticate with your Azure Artifacts feeds
• Publish Python packages to an Azure Artifacts feed

Install twine

YAML

- script: 'pip install twine'

Classic

1. From your pipeline definition, select + to add a new task. Search for the PowerShell task .

2. Select Add to add the task to your pipeline.

3. Select Inline for your script Type

4. Enter the following command in the script area

   pip install twine
   

Authenticate with Azure Artifacts

To use twine to publish your Python packages, you must first set up authentication to you Azure Artifacts feed. The TwineAuthenticate task stores your credentials in a PYPIRC_PATH environment variable. twine will reference this variable to publish your packages from your pipeline.

YAML

- task: TwineAuthenticate@1
  inputs:
    artifactFeed: <PROJECT_NAME/FEED_NAME>                            #For an organization-scoped feed, artifactFeed: <FEED_NAME>
    pythonUploadServiceConnection: <NAME_OF_YOUR_SERVICE_CONNECTION>

• artifactFeed: The name of your feed.
• pythonUploadServiceConnection: a service connection to authenticate with twine.

Classic

1. From your pipeline definition, select + to add a new task. Search for the Python twine upload authenticate task

2. Select Add to add the task to your pipeline.

3. Select your feed from the My feed dropdown menu or select a Feed from external organizations if you want to authenticate with a feed outside your organization.

Tip

The credentials stored in the PYPIRC_PATH environment variable supersede those in your .ini and .conf files.
If you add multiple TwineAuthenticate tasks at different stages in your pipeline, each additional task execution will extend (not override) the existing PYPIRC_PATH environment variable.
