  well, i used it earlier so here is how i have it set up
as follows.

  because this is testing repository i am not worried about
password being stored in a file:

.pypirc 
=====
[distutils]
index-servers=
    testpypi

[testpypi]
repository: https://test.pypi.org/legacy/
username: UserName
password: Password
=====

and my upload command is:

=====
#!/bin/sh
#
# upload ngfp to test pypi

NGFP_SRC_HOME="/home/me/src/salsa/ngfp"
if test ! -d "$NGFP_SRC_HOME" ; then
  echo "  directory $NGFP_SRC_HOME does not exist!"
  exit
fi

cd $NGFP_SRC_HOME

twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*
=====

  note: it may take a while for what you uploaded to be made
available for download again even if it reflected in your
project page.  sometimes it has been as long as a half hour
or more before it comes down.  other times it has only been
a few minutes.

  hope this helps...
