ItemNotFoundException error

[brunobraga]

I tried the good old StackOverflow (here) before bothering you guys.

Basically, I got a virtual machine with a clean copy of Ubuntu 18.04 64-bits, and tried to use twine in Python 2.7.15rc1 to update an old package to Pypi.

This is the error I am getting:

> python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
> # this works fine

> twine upload dist/*
> # returns:
> Uploading distributions to https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
> Enter your username: XXXXXXXXXX
> ItemNotFoundException: Item does not exist!

I checked the twine source code and realised there is no such error documented. Digging deeper, I found that this is being thrown by the twine/utils.py file functools.partial function... from the stack trace: (ignore the twine line numbers as I add a few debugging points throughout the file)

Traceback (most recent call last):

ItemNotFoundException: Item does not exist!

From the error, I figure that playing with the keyring instead will probably be my quick fix, but I thought to mention this here in case others find similar issue.

Thanks,

Found the issue, which was with keyring installation (D-Bus, etc). Coming from a fresh install, I was surprised the amount of additional packages required to make this work. Regardless, "twine" could implement a better error handling in the keyring not properly installed exception, rather than the error of another package altogether.

This seems to need to be verified and closed?

This seems like a duplicate of jaraco/keyring#316. If it still persists, an issue should be raised in the keyring issue tracker instead.

The issue of short exception messages without stacktraces was fixed in #397.
