No, I do not see Matalg registered - tried to search for it on the pypi 
website's search tool - not there.

Tried to register, but failed.  Removed the .pypirc script - it seems to me a 
convenience device.  Itis also a possible source of errors. A minor security 
risk, too.  The dialog is now:

*******************************
ak at supremo:~$ rm .pypirc
ak at supremo:~$ cd /dat/work/py3/Matrix-Algebra/
ak at supremo:/dat/work/py3/Matrix-Algebra$ ls

We need to know who you are, so please choose either:
 1. use your existing login,
 2. register as a new user,
 3. have the server generate a new password for you (and email it to you), or
 4. quit

Registering Matalg to http://pypi.python.org/pypi
Server response (400): Bad Request

Clearly, the registration has failed.  I am bushed. If you can suggest 
anything else, I would dearly like to hear it.

Thank you for your attention and help,

Al.
