You can tell setuptools to use a different index than the current one. For example, this is a command-line option for easy_install and a configuration option for buildout. >> Of course, those of us who use the cheesehop and setuptools >> extensively can also achieve much of this by changing the way we >> work. > > Hmm.

Actually changing the cheeseshop software has a very high learning curve. I don't think that I can make that kind of time any time soon. I'm very grateful that you and René are doing what you're doing. I also suspect that, given your and René's activity, it would be counter productive for someone else to get involved at that level, but maybe I'm wrong about that.
