PyPI Package Registry

Publish PyPI packages for your user or organization.

Requirements

To work with the PyPI package registry, you need to use the tools pip to consume and twine to publish packages.

Configuring the package registry

To register the package registry you need to edit your local ~/.pypirc file. Add

[distutils]
index-servers = forgejo

[forgejo]
repository = https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/pypi
username = {username}
password = {password}

Placeholder	Description
owner	The owner of the package.
username	Your Forgejo username.
password	Your Forgejo password. If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a personal access token instead of the password.

Publish a package

Publish a package by running the following command:

python3 -m twine upload --repository forgejo /path/to/files/*

The package files have the extensions .tar.gz and .whl.

You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.

Install a package

To install a PyPI package from the package registry, execute the following command:

pip install --index-url https://{username}:{password}@forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/pypi/simple --no-deps {package_name}

Parameter	Description
username	Your Forgejo username.
password	Your Forgejo password or a personal access token.
owner	The owner of the package.
package_name	The package name.

For example:

pip install --index-url https://testuser:password123@forgejo.example.com/api/packages/testuser/pypi/simple --no-deps test_package

You can use --extra-index-url instead of --index-url but that makes you vulnerable to dependency confusion attacks because pip checks the official PyPi repository for the package before it checks the specified custom repository. Read the pip docs for more information.

Pyodide

If your Python interpreter is (Pyodide)[https://pyodide.org/en/stable/], you may use micropip to install packages:

import micropip
micropip.install(
	'test_package',
	index_urls=[
		'https://testuser:password123@forgejo.example.com/api/packages/testuser/pypi/simple',
	],
	deps=False
)

If the package requires dependencies not already present in Pyodide’s environment, you may need to include the official PyPI server:

import micropip
micropip.install(
	'test_package',
	index_urls=[
		'https://testuser:password123@forgejo.example.com/api/packages/testuser/pypi/simple',
		'https://pypi.org/simple'
	]
)

This is sufficient if you’re hosting a Pyodide app on static pages. If you want others to install your packages, the official PyPI server is a better option, because Forgejo lacks a content delivery network.
