Upload to custom PyPi repo with Windows System User

Question

I've got a Windows build server, where the build agent runs as the system user. Another user is not possible.

I want to upload a python egg to our own PyPi repository with

python setup.py sdist upload -r $RepoName

but this does not work since the ".pypirc" file cannot be found, because of the system user. If I use another user by hand it works fine.

Is there any possibility to tell the python setup tool, where the ".pypirc" file can be found?

Kind regards, secana
