Brief description of tool

Twine is a utility for publishing Python packages on PyPI. It provides build system independent uploads of source and binary distribution artifacts.

Twine is maintained by the Python Packaging Authority, the same org that provides pip. Where pip is for downloading/installing Python libraries, twine is for uploading them to an artifact repository.

I believe it makes a lot of sense for a CI/CD system to have this basic Python library publishing tool baked-in.

Hi @BrandonLWhite - Unfortunately, we are unable to proceed with the installation of this tool in the runner image.. Having said that, we will surely look back re-assess our decision as the tool rises in popularity.

This tool requires arund 5-6 seconds to install via Github actions workflow.
Please feel free to add the relevant installation step in the same.
Thanks.
