I don't understand. What is "browsing via keywords" and how is that emphasized?

The recommended "programmatic" API is http://pypi.python.org/simple/ Not sure what you were trying to achieve programmatically; "typically" people know what they want to install (e.g. "threadedcomments"), and then the tool goes directly to http://pypi.python.org/simple/threadedcomments/ Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
