Trouble following packaging libraries tutorial

[ghost]

Thank you for providing feedback on Python packaging!

To help us help you, please fill out as much of the following as you can. If a question is not relevant, feel free to skip it.

1. OS- Windows 10 Home, Version -10.0.18362 Build 18362

2. Python 3.8.2

3. pip 20.1

4. https://packaging.python.org/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/#create-an-account

5. I followed this tutorial and created a packaging_tutorial folder with all the required files. However, when I tried to upload the file using the API token (as directed in the tutorial), it gave me an error saying 403 Client Error invalid or non-existent authentication information used. I even tried using it without the API token onto the actual pypi website and the test pypi website (i.e by manually filling in the actual username and password) I got the same error.

Have you created an account and an API token on TestPyPI? No data is shared with real PyPI.

Yes I created an account both in testpypi and pypi. I used the API token on testpypi

[merwok]

Are you pasting the whole token including pypi- prefix?

[ghost]

Yes, I am

[ghost]

It's still showing the error

[merwok]

Can you add --verbose to see more info?

[ghost]

I added it and the above message showed up

[merwok]

Well you haven’t added it to the twine command, you wrote it by itself and that does not do anything 🙂

Type your whole twine command again, but add --verbose just after twine upload

@hchgee15 It looks like there's an issue with pasting passwords in Windows. I wrote up the details at pypa/twine#671 (comment). Can you read that, and confirm that one of the workarounds works for you?
