Excellent, having the installer-tool maintainers on-board is obviously important here :-) > It is expected that tools in this release may choose to change the > default index url to ``https://pypi.python.org/simple/-with-ext`` > <https://pypi.python.org/simple/-with-ext> in > > > so, *eventually*, the /simple interface (that has been transitioned to > only serve pypi links) could be deprecated? > (because new tools would be smart enough to responsibly navigate > /simple/-with-ext) > > but slightly ironic that we'd be left with an interface called > "simple/-with-ext", given the goal of all this, but it makes sense. Right, it was precisely this awkwardness (the likelihood that tools would want to default to -with-ext and use host-comparison to distinguish internal/external, so as to provide info about external links with a single request-response) that led us to eliminate the separate indexes in our latest V4 draft and use rel attributes to distinguish link types.
