Build & Publish litellm-proxy-extras

This runbook covers building and publishing a new version of the litellm-proxy-extras PyPI package. For use by litellm engineers only.

Prerequisites

• All schema.prisma files are in sync (see migration_runbook.md Step 0)
• Migration has been generated and committed
• You are in the litellm-proxy-extras/ directory

Step 1: Bump the Version

Option A: Automatic Version Bump (Recommended)

Use commitizen to automatically bump the version across all files:

cd litellm-proxy-extras
cz bump --increment patch

This will automatically:

• Bump the version in pyproject.toml (both [tool.poetry].version and [tool.commitizen].version)
• Update the version in ../requirements.txt
• Update the version in ../pyproject.toml (root)
• Create a git commit with the version bump

Then skip to Step 3 (Install Build Dependencies).

Option B: Manual Version Bump

Update the version in pyproject.toml:

cd litellm-proxy-extras

# Check current version
grep 'version' pyproject.toml

Edit pyproject.toml and bump the version (both [tool.poetry].version and [tool.commitizen].version).

Step 2: Update Version in Root Package Files (Manual Only)

After bumping the version in litellm-proxy-extras/pyproject.toml, you must also update the version reference in the root-level files:

File	Line to update
requirements.txt	litellm-proxy-extras==X.Y.Z
pyproject.toml (root)	litellm-proxy-extras = {version = "X.Y.Z", optional = true}

# From the repo root — replace OLD with NEW version
sed -i '' 's/litellm-proxy-extras==OLD/litellm-proxy-extras==NEW/' requirements.txt
sed -i '' 's/litellm-proxy-extras = {version = "OLD"/litellm-proxy-extras = {version = "NEW"/' pyproject.toml

Do NOT skip this step. The main litellm package pins the extras version — if you don't update these, users will install the old version.

Step 3: Install Build Dependencies

pip install build twine

Step 4: Clean Old Artifacts

rm -rf dist/ build/ *.egg-info

Step 5: Build the Package

python3 -m build

This creates .tar.gz and .whl files in the dist/ directory.

Verify the build output:

ls -la dist/

Step 6: Upload to PyPI

twine upload dist/*

You will be prompted for your PyPI API token:

Enter your API token: pypi-...

Use __token__ as the username and your PyPI API token as the password.

Quick Reference (Copy-Paste)

cd litellm-proxy-extras
rm -rf dist/ build/ *.egg-info
python3 -m build
twine upload dist/*

Do you want to build and publish a new litellm-proxy-extras package? (y/n)

If yes, run the following commands in order:

cd litellm-proxy-extras
pip install build twine
rm -rf dist/ build/ *.egg-info
python3 -m build
twine upload dist/*

When twine upload runs, enter your PyPI credentials:

• Username: __token__
• Password: (paste your PyPI API key)

If no, you're done — no package publish needed.
