This is a package without a release: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-openid > >> - one release of registered package on PyPI _must_ contain >> a valid source code distribution (sdist) > > -100 > > You'd outrule commercial packages that don't come with a > source distribution.

And this is _exactly_ the problem. If you are a package author and want to make your packages available to the public through PyPI, you should be obligated for publishing the related distribution files on PyPI: for the sake of availability and in order for being independent of your own infrastructure. Otherwise I have the (arrogant) opinion: go away - if you are a package author and want to use PyPI: ensure that your software is available to everyone at any time. PyPI is not a kindergarten - PyPI is an important resource for professional Python development. CPAN is better organized and more reliable for more than ten years than PyPI ever was.
