Can I specify PyPI server information such as username and password on the command line instead of using .pypirc?

Question

My .pypirc file:

[distutils]
index-servers =
  pypi
  internal

[pypi]
username:pypiusername
password:pypipasswd

[internal]
repository: http://10.11.12.13:8080
username: ning
password: xxxx

I want to write a script that upload packages but don't want to require a .pypirc file on the machine where it runs. I can specify repository with -r, but is there a way to specify username and password as well? Or Is there an option to pass a different file (e.g --config-file ./my-pypyrc)

I'm flabbergasted that setuptools has no secure way to do this on the command line, but you can use Twine (https://github.com/pypa/twine)

twine upload -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD dist/*
