Answer 1

I have the same problem， This is my solution.

The python version is 2.7.7, my windows version is Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1.

here is my .pypirc file

[distutils]
index-servers=pypi

[pypi]
repository = https://pypi.python.org/pypi

[server-login]
username = user
password = password

Notice:

In windows, A file is not allowed named as “.pypirc”，plz，refer to：

Rename files to empty filename in Windows

Then put you ".pypirc" file in the same folder with "setup.py"

At last:

run :

python setup.py sdist upload

or:

python setup.py sdist register upload

I hope this will be help,thank you!
