Pasted what the FAQ says for reference:
Is pythonpackages.com <http://pythonpackages.com> open source?
The web application that powers pythonpackages.com
<http://pythonpackages.com> is not open source, however it uses open
source software where and when applicable, and permissible by
license, in order to facilitate its operation. Furthermore,
pythonpackages.com <http://pythonpackages.com> has a large
committment to the open source software community in general, and
strives to contribute as much as possible. All of pythonpackages.com
<http://pythonpackages.com>’s open source offerings are made
available here: https://github.com/pythonpackages.
It doesn't really explain why pythonpackages.com
<http://pythonpackages.com> isn't open source.
True, I've added this:

Keeping the project
closed is your right. Though I can definitely understand why Eric or any
package maintainer would worry of introducing a dependency on a black
box that does binary magic.
It's a valid point, but I've purposely chosen to automate tasks that are
relatively trivial to perform locally, in hopes that the automation will
create value and help folks' do their jobs better.
The "binary magic" FWIW is currently:
- Redis-backed pyramid application with deform forms to facilitate user
sign up and package management.
- requests library to do GitHub API calls.
- Hacks around GitHub and PyPI API limitations (the latter of which is
currently being addressed, and is probably the most relevant topic to
discuss on this list).
- pbs library to make `python setup.py` calls.
