Installing collective.dist

But the multiple-server .pypirc configuration is a Python 2.6 feature, and since Plone 3 and Zope 2.10 runs on Python 2.4, you need to use an alternative package if you are unable to use Python 2.6 in your environment yet. Plone 4 runs on Zope 2.12, which uses Python 2.6.

collective.dist adds two new commands for this purpose under Python 2.4 and 2.5:

• mupload: Distutils command which allows uploading packages to multiple servers under Python 2.4 and 2.5. Replaces the upload command.
  
• mregister: Distutils command which allows uploading packages to multiple servers under Python 2.4 and 2.5. Replaces the register command.
  

 To install collective.dist, you can use easy_install or pip :

$ easy_install collective.dist

 From there, you will be able to configure your .pypirc file and work woth both Plone.org and PyPI. As long as you use mregister and mupload

$ python setup.py mregister sdist mupload -r plone.org
