+\section{PEP 243: Uploading Modules to PyPI}
+
+PEP 243 describes an HTTP-based protocol for submitting software
+packages to a central archive.  The Python package index at
+\url{http://cheeseshop.python.org} now supports package uploads, and
+the new \command{upload} Distutils command will upload a package to the
+repository.
+
+Before a package can be uploaded, you must be able to build a
+distribution using the \command{sdist} Distutils command.  Once that
+works, you can run \code{python setup.py upload} to add your package
+to the PyPI archive.  Optionally you can GPG-sign the package by
+supplying the \programopt{--sign} and
+\programopt{--identity} options.
