You can also take a look at the alternative PyPI implementations,
that implement the server-side parts of the upload and register command.

I've changed Python 2.6's pypirc format so you can define in it
several PyPI servers,
and use the name of the target PyPI when you run register or upload
(see the doc)

I've backported it in a standalone project called "collective.dist" if
you use python < 2.6

For the server implementations, we have so far:

- EggBasket
- PloneSoftwareCenter (an extension for plone so you need to set up a plone)
- chishop
- ...
