I have now set up SSH access for PyPI. The procedure works like this:
1. upload your SSH key(s) to your PyPI account.
2. Connect using 'ssh -T [email protected]', and send a single HTTP
request. PyPI will associate the request with the respective PyPI
account.
I redirect ssh's stdin/stdout to a normal TCP socket using socat[0], so
that I could use the connection with distutils or my web browser. It
works very well, but I have two feature requests.
1) Could
<base href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi"/>
be replaced with:
<base href="/pypi"/>
? That would allow me to access PyPI with my browser in a more natural
way.
2) Could Authorization: headers be entirely ignored when user is already
authorized with SSH? That would allow me not to store my password in
.pypirc, even without patching distutils.
