New submission from Tarek Ziadé <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Right now you HAVE to store a clear text password in .pypirc.
But this should not be necessary since the "register" command does a getpass.getpass call to get the password from the prompt and use it to authenticate to pypi. So what do we miss ? We miss a bit of persistency for the upload command to get that password when register + upload have been called in the same command line, typically: $ python setup.py register sdist upload this patch does it, and adds a test for it. I am wondering though if upload wouldn't be better not to depend on a previous call to register (basically by adding a getpass.getpass call there too), but this can be a second patch. ---------- components: Distutils files: no_password.patch keywords: patch messages: 76268 nosy: tarek severity: normal status: open title: make the storage of the password optional in .pypirc (using the prompt) type: feature request versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12110/no_password.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4394> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
