PyPi issues - Upload failed (401): You must be identified to edit package information [duplicate]

This question already has answers here: "setup.py upload" is failing with "Upload failed (401): You must be identified to edit package information" (7 answers) Closed 9 years ago.

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

Does anyone know how to work around this? I'm using python 2.5.

python setup.py sdist register upload

running register

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.
