Still haven't figured this out yet, but I discovered that I get a
slightly more informative message if I do the upload manually with the
PyPI form. It then says:
Error processing form
invalid distribution file
Looks like this originates from:
https://svn.python.org/packages/trunk/pypi/webui.py
down near the bottom in the file_upload() method. I can't figure out
which "invalid distribution file" error is being triggered, but in
looking around, I saw that is_distutils_file() in:
https://svn.python.org/packages/trunk/pypi/verify_filetype.py
says:
if filename.endswith('.exe'):
# check for valid exe
if filetype != 'bdist_wininst':
return False
try:
t = StringIO.StringIO(content)
t.filename = filename
z = zipfile.ZipFile(t)
l = z.namelist()
except zipfile.error:
return False
for zipname in l:
if not safe_zipnames.match(zipname):
return False
That seems a little weird to me. Are the bdist_wininst exe files really
zip files? Or did I just misunderstand what "content" is?
