Am I wrong in remembering that old packages get dropped from the simple index? I'm not saying they get deleted from the server, but they are made unavailable to easy_install without special knowledge of how to get them, So old packages can have requirements in setup.py which become unavailable for simple install. --Mark _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
