1) Register an account on PyPI following this link. This is easiest to do manually online.

2) Add Trove Classifiers to setup.py. Trove classifiers must be one or more from a specific list. Make sure you generate another sdist file containing Trove Classifiers.

# Trove classifiers are strings
setup(...,

    classifiers=[  
        #'Development Status :: 1 - Planning',
        #'Development Status :: 2 - Pre-Alpha',
        'Development Status :: 3 - Alpha',
        #'Development Status :: 4 - Beta',
        #'...'  
        'Natural Language :: English',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7',
        #'Programming Language :: Python :: 2 :: Only',#
        'Topic :: Scientific/Engineering',
        'Topic :: Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization',
        'Topic :: Scientific/Engineering :: Bio-Informatics',
          ],
      )

Add backwards compatibility for python versions sub 2.3 by adding the following code to setup.py:

#...

from sys import version
if version < '2.2.3':
    from distutils.dist import DistributionMetadata
    DistributionMetadata.classifiers = None
    DistributionMetadata.download_url = None

#setup(..., )

3) Registering a project on PyPI:
Go to the PyPI submission page and upload PK-INFO. After submitting add info, you are redirected to the project page.

4) Create ~/.pypirc file

# add repo content to this file
# This file sits in the home directory
[distutils]
index-servers=pypi

[pypi]
repository = https://pypi.python.org/pypi
username = rayblick
password = *********

5) Install twine and upload sdist

# Install
sudo pip install twine

# Secure upload 
twine upload dist/*

# Insecure upload
python setup.py sdist upload
#python setup.py bdist_egg upload
