This is what happens:

e setup.py register

running check
We need to know who you are, so please choose either:
1. use your existing login,
2. register as a new user,
3. have the server generate a new password for you (and email it to
you), or
4. quit
Your selection [default 1]:
1
Please choose one of the four options!
Looks like a bug in the setup.py script. You should report it to the
author of the package.
Have you tried just pressing enter without entering anything?
No matter what I enter it will loop back. It seems my commandline
can't read numbers? The other time I noticed it was while working on a
notebook example:
[...]
This code works in IDLE, so I know it's nothing in the actual code
that's a problem,
Apart from the fact that it is incomplete and won't run as given, it
seems fine.
but when I run it in commandline it will just repeat
"is not a valid choice." Note that it does this no matter what I
actually enter, it won't actually get any kind of input except the
enter key. So I suppose it's a problem with input() (I'm using python
3.2 btw). Anyone have any insights?
You're not telling us how you're running it from the command line. My
guess is that when you try, you're ending up with a different version
of Python, namely Python 2.x, where input() has different semantics.
Try putting
print("choice = ", choice, type(choice))
immediately after the call to input in your code, and seeing what it
prints. My guess is that it will claim choice is a int instead of a
string.
One other thing to test is to print sys.version at the beginning of your
program. That will confirm Steven's hypothesis that you have two
different versions of Python. (Clearly, you'll also need to import sys)
