Release Checklist

• prepare release notes, add them to ChangeLog.rst
• Commit all of your changes:
• Update version number (can also be minor or major, the following example bumps a patch from 1.3.6 to 1.3.7)

bumpversion --current-version 1.3.6 --new-version 1.3.7 pymemcache/__init__.py setup.cfg

• Install the package again for local development, but with the new version number:

python setup.py develop

• Run the tests:

tox

• Merge to master, and pull in changes locally
• Release on PyPI by uploading both sdist and wheel (need ~/.pipyrc with pipy credentials) :

python setup.py sdist upload
python setup.py bdist_wheel upload

• Test that it pip installs:

virtualenv tempenv
source tempenv/bin/activate
pip install pymemcache
<try out my_project>
deactivate

• Push: git push
• Push tags: git push --tags
• Check the PyPI listing page to make sure that the README, release notes, and roadmap display properly. If not, copy and paste the RestructuredText into http://rst.ninjs.org/ to find out what broke the formatting.
• Edit the release notes on GitHub
