It does not know what to register at this point.
There is no package built when it tries to register.

Now you have a source distribution built.

But you cannot upload it because it was not registered.

In short, the order is important:

	1. build a source distribution
	2. register
	3. upload

So the command should be (notice the order):

	python setup.py sdist register upload
