[New-bugs-announce] [issue12944] setup.py upload to pypi needs to work with specified files

[Rene Dudfield]

New submission from Rene Dudfield <illume at users.sourceforge.net>:

We need to specify files to upload to pypi.  Otherwise we have to use the web interface.

'Regarding the "setup.py upload" command, this isn't very helpful because it will not upload a package that was already built - for example, a Windows package built on another host while I am trying to release from a Linux desktop. Since automatic package building across a build farm is the only way I can actually build packages for most platforms, this rules out use of the "upload" command.'
