That's historical. The HTTP interface existed already and is used by PIP and al. People built mirroring scripts on the top of it, and used the changelog file to get the updates. IOW, this works *today* with the existing software. Anyways, I guess I'll wait for the PSF decision to continue on that PEP. Last, if the PSF-maintained cloud-based system is preferred over what we've worked on, it would be great if it's still built on the top of an open protocol that is not tied to a cloud system, because people will be able to use it for their own PyPI systems. For instance, plone.org has a PyPI interface nowadays, so people can upload distributions over there using Distutils. And it could have mirrors as well. And accurate stats... :) Regards, Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
