flit: flit publish fails: this api is no longer supported

Running flit publish results in the following. Last time I did this, May 24 (withflit wheel --upload) it worked. I’m not sure what it means by simply upload the file.

I found the problem: when you entered the password in the terminal, it wouldn’t actually use it for the upload (a return was missing). It’s fixed in 0.11.3.

They’re going to stop old PyPI accepting uploads on July 3rd, so if you have https://pypi.python.org/pypi in your .pypirc file, you’ll want to remove that or update it to https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/.

Finally, if you install the keyring package, flit will store your password in your system’s native password store, so you don’t need to type it each time. It doesn’t currently support changing the stored password, though - for now, you have to do that in whatever interface the OS provides.
