如何不在.pypirc中存储密码？

Question

I'm trying to set up a private Pypi cloud using CloudPypi. And I really don't want store my password in .pypirc. I want to be prompt to type in my password every time I upload a package.

In Python document about .pypirc , it says:

password, that will be used to authenticate. If omitted the user will be prompt to type it when needed.

But how do you "omit" the password here? I tried leaving the password line blank, tried do "password : " or "password : password". None of these works.

Answer 1

You omit the entire line completely:

[distutils]
index-servers =
    pypi

[pypi]
repository: <repository-url>
username: <username>

This has been tested on Python 3.6.2 and pip 9.0.1
