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. ;)
