Description Andrew McNabb 2009-07-10 04:40:01 UTC

I tried to do an upload using setup.py with python-setuptools-0.6c9-3.fc11.noarch.  Unfortunately, I kept getting the error:

Upload failed (401): You must be identified to edit package information

I found the following blog post, which described the same problem and gave a workaround:

http://www.davidcramer.net/code/python/443/problems-uploading-packages-with-setuptools-on-os-x.html

I rewrote my pypirc to be in the following form and it worked:

"""
[server-login]
username:amcnabb
password:********
"""

Apparently the register command in setuptools produces a broken pypirc.

This is a distutils bug (part of core python):

dmalcolm: backporting the particular portion of the patch that fixes the issue is pretty simple:

  http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/distutils/config.py?r1=67926&r2=67925&pathrev=67926

Built with the patch here:

Note to self: the fix was present in the 2.6.2 tarball, so is in F-12 already
