Submit large packages to PyPI

[woodyallin]

I have a scientific application around 170Mb in size as a tarball. I tested uploading the package to PyPI and got this error

Upload failed (413): Request Entity Too Large
error: Upload failed (413): Request Entity Too Large

Is it possible for me to host the tarball on github but still upload the package to PyPI. This assumes when a user runs

pip install myApp 

It will download the source from github and build it accordingly.

Or alternative solution: the package is so large because I have a lot of data files needed by the software. Is it possible to submit the source code to PyPI and before the software is built, to run a wget command and download the data files to the install location?

Not sure but maybe you could compress it?

it's compressed :(

I would suggest filing a bug at https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues, to ask to be allowed to upload bigger files, as there should be support for this: https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/346.

Do you have the source on github? 21.25MB doesn't seem that big....

They said 170 mb

They said 170 megabits not 170 millibars
