Confusing registration argument, package

[mmulich]

It's not real clear what the package argument should be when using the register command.

My inclination is to either supply the name of the package I want to register or the path to the distribution. But neither of these seems to work? What is it that I am suppose to be using?

> twine register -r pypitest mypackage
Registering package to https://testpypi.python.org/pypi
PackageNotFound: "mypackage" does not exist on the file system.

> twine register -r pypitest .
Registering package to https://testpypi.python.org/pypi
ValueError: Unknown distribution format: '.'

> twine register -r pypitest mypackage/
Registering package to https://testpypi.python.org/pypi
ValueError: Unknown distribution format: ''

Falling back to setup.py register for now... 😦

Note, I see something similar in #8.

I believe you need to either use mypackage/* or mypackage/foo.whl

It should be along the lines of:

python setup.py sdist
twine register -r pypitest dist/my-package.tar.gz

As mentioned in https://github.com/pypa/twine#usage

I think this can be closed now.

Thanks @annaraven! (I've become bad at closing bugs)
