Question:

I’m trying to build my PyPi package and after I ran this command python3 -m twine upload --verbose --repository testpypi dist/* it gave me this error:

I used --verbose to get more information about my error. For my setup.py I used the following for version:

setup(
    name='fsa_test_one',
    version=versioneer.get_version(),
    cmdclass=versioneer.get_cmdclass()

Answers:

The issue was in the versioneer style, it is found in the setup.cfg file I changed that to the style that supports my package which is PEP440-pre. So after changing that I had to setup versioneer again and then it worked. I also had to make sure I removed all the previous builds stored in the dist/* directory
