When running..
python setup.py sdist register upload
..I get the following output:
running register
We need to know who you are, so please choose either:

2. register as a new user,
3. have the server generate a new password for you (and email it to you), or
4. quit

Registering mypackage to http://pypi.python.org/pypi
Server response (200): OK
I can store your PyPI login so future submissions will be faster.

running upload
Submitting dist/mypackage-1.2.1.tar.gz to http://pypi.python.org/pypi
Upload failed (401): You must be identified to edit package information
It's prompting to save the login details, despite ~/.pypirc
already containing this. It then fails to upload files for a package I own, and have full write-access to.
Just found this page, which solves the issue:
I also noticed that while it was asking me to save my login information, and I hit Y everytime, it still asked me for the username and password. It turned out that it was saving the information incorrectly as follows:
[pypi] username:dcramer password:*******
Changing it out to this solved the problems:
[server-login] username:dcramer password:********
The above content goes into the .pypirc
file in the user's home directory.
Ugh.. I think this may be a good time to give distribute a try..
