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 ?

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

but it can still be enhanced.

I will really like to see it in 2.6 because by that time, there will be many
