[Distutils] Twine 1.10.0rc1 on Test PyPI

[Jason R. Coombs]

Thanks for working on this!

In my particular use-case, I rarely run twine myself, but instead rely on the Travis-CI DPL routine<https://github.com/travis-ci/dpl/blob/master/lib/dpl/provider/pypi.rb>. Looking at that code, I don’t see any means I have to test a pre-release version.

Given the presumably broad impact this one use-case has, it would be nice if there were a way to test it against pre-release versions of twine (and maybe also wheel, pip, and setuptools). Perhaps it would be worthwhile to propose a hook to that project to enable the versions of those projects to be specified for selective testing.

Oh, I just had an idea - perhaps one could set the PIP_PRE environment variable and that would affect the install and allow the pre-release to be tested. I’ll give that a go.

Wrong URL (did I mention I'm new at this?). View 1.10.0rc1, including a
fairly spiffy new README, at:
https://test.pypi.org/project/twine/1.10.0rc1/ -- and please pass word
along to our downstreams.

This is a release candidate for Twine 1.10.0 which I'm planning to
release early next week.

This release improves project registration usage text (in some cases
removing it where inapplicable), and updates `--repository[-url]` usage
text, prints progress to `stdout` instead of `stderr`, improves the
progressbar, and reorganizes and improves user and developer documentation.

Please see the changelog
https://twine.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html for detailed notes
under "Next feature release".

I believe this is how you test it out:

 pip install --upgrade --pre --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/
--extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple twine

Please check existing open issues at
https://github.com/pypa/twine/issues and open new ones if you have
problems. Thanks!
