Twine upload fails on entering username because of keyring

[Weitspringer]

Environment

• Operating System: Windows 10 Home, WSL Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
• Python 3.6.9
• Twine version 1.10.0

I installed twine with

sudo apt-get install twine

and

pip3 install --user twine

The Issue

I tried to upload my dist/* directory with
(1)

twine upload dist/*

and
(2)

python3 -m twine upload dist/*

The output of (1) was Enter your username: as usual. But after entering my username, twine exited with an type error: TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

The output of (2) was immediately the same error, before I was asked to enter my credentials. But additionally, I came across ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'keyring.util.escape. Maybe a python version thing?
I tried twine upload -u <Username> -p <Password> dist/*, but this threw an error too:

HTTPError: 400 Client Error: The description failed to render in the default format of reStructuredText. See https://pypi.org/help/#description-content-type for more information. for url: https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/

Maybe this could be of some use. Anyway: I don't really know what to do now. Can u help me?

Thanks a lot!

Hm. I'm curious about the output of these commands:

type -a twine
twine --version
python3 -m twine --version

Also, do you have a public repository for the project that you're trying to upload?

[Weitspringer]

@bhrutledge

type -a twine
twine is /usr/bin/twine

twine --version
twine version 1.10.0 (pkginfo: 1.5.0.1, requests: 2.22.0, setuptools: 42.0.2,
requests-toolbelt: 0.9.1, tqdm: 4.40.1)

python3 -m twine --version
twine version 1.10.0 (pkginfo: 1.5.0.1, requests: 2.22.0, setuptools: 42.0.2,
requests-toolbelt: 0.9.1, tqdm: 4.40.1)

Also, do you have a public repository for the project that you're trying to upload?

No, I am sorry.

Thanks for the help!

I'm having this same issue, and also to a private repository.

It looks like keyring had a major version update to 20.0.0, and twine's requirement for it isn't bound:
keyring >= 15.1
https://pypi.org/project/keyring/#history

[flyinbutrs]

Confirmed, downgrading to keyring<19 worked. FYI, keyring versions 19.3.0 and 20.0.0 have the same issue.

[kgraves-ts3d]

I was still getting some exceptions with keyring < 19, but its working with keyring 19.2.0 after updating keyring.alt to 3.1

Sorry for the lag in response, folks. I haven't come up to speed on keyring enough feel confident in troubleshooting, so I've been hoping that @jaraco would chime in.

That said, I'm wondering if y'all are using the latest version of twine; it looks like at least @Weitspringer is using an old version. We're currently at 3.1.1, and 3.0.0 made some changes with how we use keyring: https://twine.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html.

[jaraco]

This issue is particularly challenging because it's reporting three different errors.

Because the title of the issue mentions 'keyring', I suggest we focus on the issues related to keyring (the ModuleNotFoundError and possibly the TypeError). Regarding the restructuredtext rendering error, would you file a separate issue?

ModuleNotFoundError

The error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'keyring.util.escape' is due to a API coupling that was fixed in keyrings.alt 3.1 (ref). That module was removed from keyring in 15.0 (ref). That means if you have keyrings.alt<3.1, you'll need keyring<15. That explains why upgrading to keyrings.alt 3.1 addresses the issue. Removing keyrings.alt (preferred) should also address that error.

TypeError

But after entering my username, twine exited with an type error: TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

Did twine provide a traceback? That error message doesn't provide enough context to understand what the cause might be.

It looks like keyring had a major version update to 20.0.0, and twine's requirement for it isn't bound:
keyring >= 15.1

I don't expect the backward incompatibility of the keyring 20.0 release to have any impact on twine, so that declaration is still correct.

[Weitspringer]

Sorry it took so long for me to respond, but I don't have much spare time currently. I'll try to update twine and check if this is still an issue.

Thanks to @kgraves-ts3d, update keyring and keyrings.alt packages solved this issue for me.
python3 -m pip install -U keyring keyrings.alt

I'm going to close this due to inactivity. We can reopen it if necessary.
