In web app land, "supported browsers" usually means the ones the

For CSS, this means that the site's appearance will be sometimes
wonky
when running with an older-than-supported browser version. Features
which depend on Javascript may not work at all, or only in degraded
mode.
I have a really hard time answering that question then: there was no
web designer involved in creating PyPI (*). The browser that the
*authors* of the service target are really the ones I mentioned: all
of them.
There is one browser that gets special attention, and flaws relating
to it get fixed faster than for any other browser: setuptools.

(*) of course, it uses the layout of python.org, which did have a
web designer; for this design, I don't know the answer.
Martin,
a question from me. Does setuptools browse the main pypi pages or does
it use the simple version?
Another question is, if there is a need for Javascript on the page
(don't worry about making it unaccessible, I'll make everything
degrade nicely) am I allowed to include JavaScript framework. Right
now I'm looking at jQuery (http://jquery.com/) or would there be
something against this?
I have already done a few items from my list and a few of the items
which were proposed by the distutils-sig mailinglist. Over the weekend
I'm looking at doing a nice chunk of work.
Regards,
Simon de Vlieger
