[New-bugs-announce] [issue9995] "setup.py register sdist upload" requires pass to be saved

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik <techtonik at gmail.com>:

That's very annoying that distutils asks to save your pass when uploading to PyPI, but refuses to upload if you refuse. So you end up with storing your password in cleartext.

Try the next command to see what I mean:

setup.py register sdist upload
