Stefan Krah <stefan-use...@bytereef.org> added the comment:

I think there should be a warning that the connection is unauthenticated
(i.e. not secure). Users tend to be upset if they see 'https' and later
find out that no certificates were verified.


A reasonably secure alternative is to publish the pypi server
certificate in a couple of places (python-dev, www.python.org).
Then the user can import the certificate into the browser while
on a trusted connection and henceforth do all uploading etc.
via the browser.
