Description: While the PyPI website is maintained by the Python Software Foundation <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_Software_Foundation>, its contents are uploaded by individual package maintainers. Python package managers such as pip default to downloading packages from PyPI. https://pypi.python.org/pypi Description: The Python Package Index is a repository of software for the Python programming language. There are currently *43698* packages here. https://pythonhosted.org/an_example_pypi_project/setuptools.html#registering-your-project The normal work flow seems to be: 1. Register your project. 2. Upload your project. I think a newcomer is likely to conclude that "pip" downloads packages from the official repository (PyPI) and these packages have been uploaded to PyPI by third-party developers.
