PyPI mirrors _are_ associated with PyPI and pypi.python.org. (Why) Do do want to flatly rule out pip/pypi.python.org support for managing mirrors? The perl CPAN mirroring provides this nice little machine-readable file: http://www.cpan.org/indices/mirrors.json and a python-equivalent could be consumed by pip, i guess. best, holger _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
