[Distutils] [issue117] Unable to upload package without storing password in ~/.pypirc

[Ted Tibbetts]

Hi,
  Strike two for me then :)  Thanks for the pointer.  It's difficult to know
which bits are being handled by ``setuptools`` and which are just being
handed off to ``distutils``, and whether ``setuptools`` purports to
perfectly replicate all of the ``distutils`` functionality.

  IIRC, I wanted to test the upload under distutils, but couldn't because
the sdist builds differently under distutils, and it seems to be required to
build the sdist as part of the ``upload`` command.  I guess I *could* have
tested it, but it would have required sending a bogus package version out to
PyPI, assuming that it worked.  Is there maybe a dummy server available for
testing these sorts of things?

  It looks like this is the fix you mentioned: `<
http://bugs.python.org/issue4394>`_.  The thread for that issue
mentions<http://bugs.python.org/issue4394#msg79428>that it was
committed for Python 2.7.

  I'm running Python 2.6.5; more specifically the package from ubuntu 10.04,
which has a version number of ``2.6.5-0ubuntu1``.

  I'm not sure if this is my bad for using documentation which doesn't match
my version number (i.e. the currently posted documentation at
http://docs.python.org/distutils/uploading.html#package-upload), or if the
documentation should make a note that that particular feature is new to
python 2.7.

  My apologies for misdirecting my issue; I'm just learning Python packaging
and it's a bit confusing to sort out what's in distutils, what's in
setuptools, and what's in the distribute module which was previously
installed on my system, "masquerading", as it were. as setuptools.

  The documentation for setuptools does seem to be a bit out of date: for
instance,
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#building-and-distributing-packages-with-setuptools
lists
as one of its features "PyPI upload support - upload your source
distributions and eggs to PyPI".  However, it would appear that this
functionality has since been rolled into distutils.

  Anyhow, thank you kindly for the quick response and for all your work on
these modules, I guess I just have to deal with this password issue the
annoying way until I update to Python 2.7.

  Cheers

-Ted
