This worked for me:

1. Delete the build, dist, and <package name>.egg-info folders in your root directory.
2. Change version number in your setup.py file.
3. Create distribution again. e.g: python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
4. Upload distribution again. e.g: twine upload dist/*

I had the same problem, and it seems there is no straight fix:

However, if you want to upload a source distribution, there is a workaround which is not too ugly. You can build a "zip" archive instead of a "tar.gz" archive. You can control this e.g. via

python setup.py sdist --formats=zip

This way, you obtain a different file name. Then you might append the upload command directly

python setup.py sdist --formats=zip upload

Or you might use twine to upload after building:

twine upload dist/*
