New submission from Ted Tibbetts <intui...@gmail.com>: I can't seem to upload a source distribution without storing my password in ~/.pypirc.
If I have no ~/.pypirc, and I give a the command ``$ python setup.py sdist register upload`` and then give my login credentials, this happens at the end: :: running register Password: Registering terminable_thread to http://pypi.python.org/pypi Server response (200): OK running upload Submitting dist/terminable_thread-0.7.tar.gz to http://pypi.python.org/pypi Upload failed (401): Incorrect password I get similar results if my ``~/.pypirc`` has a line in the ``[pypi]`` section containing just ``password:``, whether or not I omit the ``register`` command. I was able to upload the distribution by putting my password in ``~/.pypirc``. The ``upload`` command seems to be checking for the password independently from ``register``; this runs contrary to the documentation_. .. _documentation: http://docs.python.org/distutils/packageindex.html#pypirc I'm running the bona fide (not ``distribute``) ``setuptools``, version ``0.6c11``. This assertion is based on :: $ cat `which easy_install` | grep load from pkg_resources import load_entry_point load_entry_point('setuptools==0.6c11', 'console_scripts', 'easy_install')() and the fact that I just deleted my old ``setuptools`` and installed by executing the current tarball from the ``setuptools`` PyPI page. ---------- messages: 553 nosy: intuited priority: bug status: unread title: Unable to upload package without storing password in ~/.pypirc _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setupto...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue117> _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
