ValueError: No PKG-INFO in archive

I've been trying to upload my package to PyPI by taking these steps:

  1. Registering on PyPI

  2. Creating a hidden .pypirc file in my home directory (~/) containing:

    [distutils] index-servers = pypi

    [pypi] repository=https://pypi.python.org/pypi username=my_username password=my_password

  3. Creating LICENSE.TXT, requirements.txt, and setup.cfg inside my package which contained this:

    [metadata]

    description-file = README.md

  4. Creating setup.py inside my package containing this:

    from setuptools import setup setup( name='Package_name', packages=['Package_name'], version='1.0', description='Description, author= 'ShellRox', author_email='Email', url='Github url', download_url='Github download url', keywords=['authentication', 'steam', 'simple'], classifiers=[], )

  5. Converting my package directory to tar.gz file:

tar -czvf Package_name.tar.gz Package_name

  1. And finally, executing this command:

twine upload package_name.tar.gz

From which, I received this error:

ValueError: No PKG-INFO in archive: PATH_HERE

I know that similar question has been asked before, But as you see i have already practiced solution question's only answer provided, But it didn't seem to work.

How should i put PKG-INFO in my archive? Could there be some problem? Thanks a lot

To create a source distribution you need (instead of tar):

python setup.py sdist

Verify it before uploading — you may need to adjust MANIFEST or MANIFEST.in to include everything.

To create binary packaages:

python setup.py bdist_egg

and/or

python setup.py bdist_wheel

Then twine upload dist/*.
