multiple servers handling in .pypirc
Hello, like discussed in catalog-sig, and explained here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/EnhancedPyPI I am submitting a patch for distutils so .pypirc can handle several servers: http://bugs.python.org/issue1858 It allows having a .pypirc that handles several servers, using the -r option together with several couples of username/password. I am not quite sure about the acceptation process for such a patch, since it was built through a discussion in catalog-sig, so I am presenting it here for review, feedback, etc. Regards Tarek -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/multiple-servers-handling-in-.pypirc-tp14917917p149179...

distutils/setuptools does need something like this, but I'm not terribly fond of how that file is laid out. :( In the EnhancedPyPI page, the .pypirc file starts to take on two roles: a keychain and a list of index servers. Perhaps it would be best to keep these things separate. A global file(and a user relative file) listing index servers or an environment variable would be handy, IMO. Also, it would be preferable if we could just use the URL/URI/IRI syntax: http://user:pass@example.com/pypi just my random thoughts as a user. nice work regardless of how you take my preferences. ;)

Yeas maybe we could look in the user's home then in some global place. but how this could be done so it works on all platforms ? I can think of /etc in Linux, but what about Windows, is there a common pattern we can use ? James William Pye wrote:

I am not found of this because for the default server (pypi) you will need to provide explicit username/password if you want to omit the PyPI url James William Pye wrote:

Well thanks a lot. At this point I have added a patch proposal, but it can still be enhanced. I will really like to see it in 2.6 because by that time, there will be many PyPI-compatible web sites -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/multiple-servers-handling-in-.pypirc-tp14917917p150082...

Not sure. Perhaps someone more familiar with windows can speak up about this.
URL/URI/IRI syntax: http://user:pass@example.com/pypi

Granted, the built-in default case would be strange, but, arguably, you wouldn't need to define the default pypi creds in that form as the current .pypirc already handles that case. *shrug*.

Yes but that would end up with a file that has two syntax because you need to provide the username and password for pypi somewhere -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/multiple-servers-handling-in-.pypirc-tp14917917p150295...
