It was added during the sprints at US PyCon 2005 in DC. Here's a horribly blurry photo (taken with a phone camera before such things were worth a damn) of the work being done in part by Martin (who implemented the GPG signature side of the upload - IIRC Mick was working on the new template-based rendering code while I was working on the actual upload command): http://www.flickr.com/photos/richard_jones/7024147/in/set-72157594192581620/ I had always intended for PyPI to be a repository like CPAN so that package authors could have a convenient place to distribute their files. Just like we now have a convenient place for them to also host documentation (though RTFD now also provides hosting for this.)
