Dead link in "Reusable Apps" tutorial - "Publishing your app" section

Description

In the publishing your app section of the Reusable Apps (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/reusable-apps/#publishing-your-app) tutorial, the documentation links to PyPi Quickstart on the python-distrubute.org domain.

Text reads: For more information on PyPI, see the Quickstart section

and the "Quickstart" link points to http://guide.python-distribute.org/quickstart.html#register-your-package-with-the-python-package-index-pypi

I can't find a suitable replacement for the PyPi quickstart to suggest a patch.

Hi,

Indeed, it seems that python-distribute.org has been taken down.

I think the information can be found on the "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Packaging"'s page at http://the-hitchhikers-guide-to-packaging.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ but I'm not sure how up-to-date that page is (the copyright says 2009 which is ancient when it comes to Python packaging).

Thanks.

Up-to-date packaging documentation can be found at https://packaging.python.org/.

I can't find a suitable replacement for the PyPi quickstart to suggest a patch.

I think the correct link is https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/distributing.html#uploading-your-project-to-pypi
