This is actually on my radar to do for setuptools, as soon as the dust has settled enough on what it is the monkey-patching needs to *do*. ;-) So far I know I'll be changing the default URLs and adding cert verification, but I haven't looked at the register or upload stuff yet. The part where people are saying https isn't working right now is a big red flag for me, however; I don't want to push out an update that'll just make the load situation worse. In the meantime I'll be investigating and testing, of course. (One annoying issue presently under investigation: determining whether including a cacert bundle means setuptools' license terms will have to change. Pip used LGPL, which appears to be compatible with the MPL. I personally don't think certs should be copyrightable in the first place, but some jurisdictions have compilation copyright of otherwise non-copyrightable individual elements. Presumably, Mozilla's not going to be a jerk about things, but... bleah. Licensing issues *suck*.) _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
