Docs: "Upload your distributions" #231
Comments
So you want a phrase like "You can now upload the files created by packaging up your project as described in #packaging your project"? Given it's the very previous section, easily found by scrolling up one window(even on my tiny screen), I'm not convinced this would be helpful. However, I could see adding something like: "The first time you run the sdist or bdist command will create a new directory in your project, called dist/, and put the new .whl or .tar.gz there." might be helpful. Think that would be useful? You could easily find it then with ctrl-f even if you missed it in scrolling. |

Okay, how about "The first time you run the command to package up your project, a new directory will be created called dist/, and the new distribution file will be put there." |
Issue #pypa#231 indicated it is unclear where dist/ directory comes from or where to find it. Clarifying this situation so folks can register and upload their files to PyPI.
Closing this one based on @annaraven's PR. |
Thank you for fixing this small issue. |

I am missing: Where do the files in "dist/*" come from?
I search for "dist/" on the page (ctrl-f). The matches I found did not explain where these files in this directory come from.
I don't want much, just a sentence like this:
