Im encountering a problem with pypi similar to this one, except that I'm running windows and the mentioned solution page is down.

python setup.py sdist register upload

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

Answer 1

the answer for this seems not very non-windows-specific, give it a try: accepted answer It says basically, that you need a file .pypirc with the following section:

[server-login]
username:tschellenbach
password:******** (the real one)

also, this is the relevant documentation (about .pypirc):

On windows, an you’ll need to set a HOME environ var to point to the directory where this file lives.
