Problem with command-line registeration with PyPI in Windows 7

When I type c:\python32\python.exe setup.py register and press ENTER I get the following:

running register
running check 
We need to know who you are, so please choose either:
 1. use your existing login,
 2. register as a new user,
 3. have the server generate a new password for you (and email it to you), or 
 4. quit
Your selection [default 1]:

So i type 1 and press ENTER and I get:

Please choose one of the four options!

Why is this happening? It doesn't care what I type. It's always the same result.

Update: I tried reinstalling the 32 bit version and reinstalling for the current user but none worked.

Solution

  • I added .pypirc file with my username and password in my home folder. That is, C:\Users\*****.

    [distutils] 
index-servers = pypi 

[pypi] 
username: *****
password: *****

    I was then able to register and upload my module.

    Note: This is a workaround.
