In their own words
PyPI
PyPI is a repository for software written in Python, available through its website and APIs. It helps users find and install packages shared by the Python community, while package authors publish projects and releases. A release may include source archives and binary wheels for different hardware, operating systems, and formats. APIs include RSS feeds for new packages and releases. PyPI is maintained by the Python Software Foundation and the Python community. Accounts require two-factor authentication, and a verified email address is needed to register a project or upload a release file. Trusted Publishing uses OpenID Connect short-lived identity tokens, with PyPI API tokens valid for 15 minutes. Default limits are 100 MB per file and 10 GB per project. Organizations provide shared profiles, teams, permissions, trusted publishing, and history. Community organizations are free; Company organizations cost $5 a month.
