6. Registering with the Package Index
</H1>

<P>
The Python Package Index (PyPI) holds meta-data describing distributions
packaged with distutils. The distutils command <code class="du-command">register</code> is
used to submit your distribution's meta-data to the index. It is invoked
as follows:

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
python setup.py register
</pre></div>

<P>
Distutils will respond with the following prompt:

<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
running register
We need to know who you are, so please choose either:
 1. use your existing login,
 2. register as a new user,
 3. have the server generate a new password for you (and email it to you), or
 4. quit
Your selection [default 1]:
</pre></div>

<P>
Note: if your username and password are saved locally, you will
not see this menu.

<P>
If you have not registered with PyPI, then you will need to do so now. You
should choose option 2, and enter your details as required. Soon after
submitting your details, you will receive an email which will be used to
confirm your registration.

<P>
Once you are registered, you may choose option 1 from the menu. You will
be prompted for your PyPI username and password, and <code class="du-command">register</code>
will then submit your meta-data to the index.

<P>
You may submit any number of versions of your distribution to the index. If
you alter the meta-data for a particular version, you may submit it again
and the index will be updated.

<P>
PyPI holds a record for each (name, version) combination submitted. The
first user to submit information for a given name is designated the Owner
of that name. They may submit changes through the <code class="du-command">register</code>
command or through the web interface. They may also designate other users
as Owners or Maintainers. Maintainers may edit the package information, but
not designate other Owners or Maintainers.

<P>
By default PyPI will list all versions of a given package. To hide certain
versions, the Hidden property should be set to yes. This must be edited
through the web interface.
