[Distutils] unable to upload to pypi

[Algis Kabaila]

Hi,

Our 26 year old grand daughter on a visit from Sydney strongly suggested that 
I should upload my work to pypi.  I think she is right, so I put up a real 
effort to learn the tools to make the package presentable.  I think I did 
finally succeed to wrap my package in a respectable form.  I attach the listing 
of the setup.py.

I think that the install script, the documentation and the package (in Python 
3.2) all work fine - as a test I placed it in my home page - 

documentation : http://akabaila.pcug.org.au/matalg-doc/index.html
the package Matalg-0.1.0.tar.gz  
http://akabaila.pcug.org.au/downloads/

I am registered user of pypi and have downloaded some packages from there. 
However, try as I have, I can not upload to pypi. I attach the dialog between 
me and my PC of the last few minutes:

I have a ".pypirc" file in my home directory (password obscured):

[server-login]
username:OldAl
password:xxxxxx

My PC is named (immodestly) "supremo", the os is kubuntu 11.04 natty, my user 
name on my PC is  "ak", my login name on pypi is "OldAl", the package licence 
is LDPL - and here is the dialog:

It all seem to indicate that either my password is not recognised, my ID is in 
doubt - or the more mundane - I am making the same mistake over and over 
again. 

What can I do (other than banging my head against a wall)?
