Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: This is a strange bug. I added a test using -r server2, using the already-existing PYPIRC_LONG_PASSWORD string as .pypirc contents. The test passes. To make sure changing one test would not affect another one, I created a new .pypirc file, PYPIRC_CUSTOM_SERVER, and then I got to see your bug! I tried various combinations of keys (realm or not, user or not), changed the markup (: or = as delimiter, spaces or not) but could not easily find the root of the bug.
Can you publish a .pypirc file that works with 2.7 and not with 3.2? That would be a good starting point. msg144569 - (view) Author: Jason R. Coombs (jason.coombs) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-09-28 18:09 I now seem to be unable to reproduce the issue. I do keep my .pypirc in a revision control system, so I have reasonable confidence that my .pypirc contained the content that I'm attaching now (passwords scrubbed of course). > One possible factor is that my .pypirc is symlinked from ~/.pypirc to > config/python/.pypirc and > it's conceivable that Python 3.2.0 has some issues with symlink resolution > that caused it to not > process the .pypirc properly. Are these Windows symlinks? Are they supposed to be dereferenced transparently by the OS (i.e. during open) like unix symlinks? > Sure enough.

If one deletes the .pypirc altogether, it produces the same error. OK. For distutils2, I think we’ll want better logging/error reporting. The user should see “no /what/ever/.pypirc found”, not “section not found”. > I suggest we mark this bug as resolved (as the primary cause was due to the > file not being read at > all), but also apply your patch (which has some other good fixes) without the > CUSTOM_SERVER, or > with a version of the CUSTOM_SERVER that works. Agreed. I’ll resume work on that patch to understand why it fails. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11473> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
