Answer 1

None of the changes to ~/.pypirc listed here worked for me.

This worked for me, with no changes to ~/.pypirc. I added "-r https://www.python.org/pypi" to the command line:

python setup.py register sdist upload -r https://www.python.org/pypi

My ~/.pypirc looks like this

[distutils]
index-servers: pypi

[pypi]
username: dlink
password: ******** (the real one)
