I don't care how something was originally used. I care about how things are actually used and especially how things are used in a professional environment. I am not in the business of tinkering and enterprises I worded for or projects I was involved in require a *professsional* and *reliable* Python packaging system. *I* as Python developer know the issues and can deal with the current state. *Lots* of internal developers that are using Python just a tool among others often complain about the situtation and can not deal or won't the complex aspects like setup a local package package or repository. They expect things to just work. Honestly I am truly pissed of the by arrogance and ignorance of package maintainers coming with the very same arguments every time for *not hosting* at least copies on PyPI. So my clear message is: if you don't care about the professional developers and theirs by not hosting packages on PyPI then please stay away... - -aj > - -- ZOPYX Limited | zopyx group Charlottenstr. 37/1 | The full-service network for Zope & Plone D-72070 Tübingen | Produce & Publish www.zopyx.com | www.produce-and-publish.com - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ E-Publishing, Python, Zope & Plone development, Consulting -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQGUBAEBAgAGBQJPMLaGAAoJEADcfz7u4AZjRfgLv0M0MLId0kqO6qcSyA2vOy7D 4MV/c1tzo7d4fUDse8o5/DM+2ttOcswk0oPe4CaC1PShHxwaznyGkzGNjApWqPt8 W40/kOyE0HdBpUAvnzSWOV3Ujss6EkDDyuygV8mysl/KSwnq6X/lCnRQHX+Eb14/ VxbJIWc6ybSiTnOfojMnTQuSrz8M6Ko0qO/eR+7oGewQCS7jCADQH8PMWOuWgG03 ncrVwHWtqf5PSYFU3Bfg+pReub8bHYKChcYqtohXfGwSm7yxlccKDe5cKLG8pi5v 3pfyRLv6D4grzr2hTvoYnasekbU3WtWTvtL9Bzj6cens4GdXxcNLlydUvZd86IMY 0hfzl0Qxhz6kmYbnmRRbPuJijG4OxAHdko9I0IpgM3PKf4Xivxy4xrO71SShcO43 WWRce1MGV5fc1tuzoAp/lszfD8dx/tkvp1EPQSbyvjZzEZl48c2lI0BpahXual3m l9nzWjAZaObjxzgXthyco2YcKXwJm6Q= =7i3L -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
