hi~ I'm writing pypi2pkgsys: http://code.google.com/p/pypi2pkgsys/ . I noticed that the name, license of python modules registered in PyPI is really a miss. Such as 'Are You Human?', even easy-install can not install them with these strange name.
Most of the linux user use a linux distribution, such as fedora, ubuntu or gentoo, I'm not willing to install python module by easy-install because the local package management system will not know the python module is installed already. They will install them with some old version again. If PyPI is more strict in name, license and its format, automatically package install within the distribution package management system should be possible. By the way, PyPI is really slow here, mirror should be welcomed. And I have add the local mirror features into pypi2pkgsys. Thanks. Any comment is welcomed.
