Uploading PyPi Package error

Question

I am trying to upload a pypi package, first i found out that setup_tools was really old, so that is now updated, though i still get the same error, and google is not really helping me much on this subject.

python setup.py sdist upload -r pypitest

If i try to run register it works just fine:

python setup.py register -r test

Anyone had this problem before?

.pypirc file is also available, and works just fine with register.

[distutils]
index-servers =
    pypi

Setup.py file (UPDATED with the import mentioned in the answer):

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='arcsightrest',
    version='1.0',
    description='Python library to connect to the HP Arcsight Logger REST API',
    author='***',
    license='MIT',
    author_email='***',
    url='****',
    download_url='****',
    keywords=['arcsight', 'logger', 'rest'],
    include_package_data=True,
    zip_safe=True,
    py_modules=['arcsightrest'],
    install_requires=[
        'pytz',
        'untangle',
        'requests',
        'python-dateutil',
    ],
)

UPDATE: Trying to change the setup.py got me a bit closer, for some reason it asks for my password now, but the end result is still the same error:

Setuptools version:

setuptools 28.8.0 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (Python 2.7)

Answer 1

The Unsupported schema refers to the URL scheme of the repository URL; it has to be one of http or https.

The error happens because -r takes an URL to the repository, or an exact name that is specified in .pypirc:

% python setup.py upload --help
...
Options for 'upload' command:
  --repository (-r)  url of repository [default:
                     https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/]

Your .pypirc specifies test yet you're trying pypitest.

---

Some of these options are not recognized by distutils.core.setup (as evidenced by the UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: ...); therefore you should use setuptools.setup instead:

from setuptools import setup
setup(
    ...
)

(and make sure that setuptools is up-to-date).
