Out of curiosity, wasn't there some musing earlier that people shouldn't be
mirroring PyPI data in a commercial context? Or at least should offer some
kind of opt-out?
Could you point me to the specific mailing thread where it was discussed
that commercial services must be disallowed from mirroring PyPI's data -
specifically hosted source distributions and metadata as exposed by its
XMLRPC interface?
It is probably worth mentioning here that we have been maintaining a
copy of PyPI's data, updated incrementally each day, for about a year
now. Martin v. Löwis, a PyPI admin, has been aware of this too -- I
haven't received any notice telling ActiveState to stop mirroring PyPI's
data.
