If you have never used PGP before, you *really* shouldn't register a PGP key ID in PyPI. I suppose your key doesn't have any counter signatures, anyway.
Nope, thanks, I'm already in. The pypi page could mark the field "optional". I just associated it, conceptually, with the Github SSH key, and with passwordless login in general, and assumed it was required...
