Those are the only links that are unconditionally followed, yes. But all links it sees are parsed to see if they appear to be a direct download link (e.g. .tgz, .zip, .egg, "#egg=" link, etc.). They're just not *followed* unless they appear to be a direct link to a desired version of something, or if it's marked as a homepage or download link. All other on-page links are ignored, whether they're part of the description or otherwise. (Any given link is also retrieved at most once per run of easy_install.) _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
