encrypting PyPi passwords in pypirc - dale2k9 - Jan-10-2019

How can I encrypt a password for use in the pypirc file for authentication to my PyPi repository? I understand that I can omit the password and get prompted in my local builds but for CI or automated builds I need to have the password in the file but our security policy won't allow the password to be stored in plain text. Any suggestions?

You can use passlib for this,
