Hey I realize that
http://a.pypi.python.org/simple/webob/ *and* http://a.pypi.python.org/simple/WebOb/ both exist (the first one is an alias) this is fine, but the mirrors don't copy the aliases. so http://c.pypi.python.org/simple/webob/ will issue a 404 This is OK for pip and easy_install as they fallback on the main index to look for the real name if simple/webob/ is not found, and I can probably add the same behavior in the new crawler in packaging. But what about changing this in the future by making all index paths lower cases, so both PyPI and its mirrors are completely similar The non-lower case version could become the alias for backward compatible purposes, but tools could start to lower-case all project names by default when looking at the index Cheers Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
