" The Python Package Index or PyPI is the official third-party software repository for the Python programming language. Python developers intend it to be a comprehensive catalog of all open source Python packages.[1] It is analogous to CPAN, the repository for Perl. " It calls it a repository, and links that text to a page that says: " A software repository is a storage location from which software packages may be retrieved and installed on a computer. " Further more calling it analogous to CPAN also reinforces that idea. You have to read a whole lot into the word "catalog" to read it as anything else IMO. > > > Or Jeremy Hylton's link: > > https://www.python.org/~jeremy/weblog/030924.html > > > If anything, this edit is part of the ongoing reeducation and indoctrination. > > I'm not sure how a blog post from 2003 is relevant to a discussion to the expectations in 2014. I don't think anyone is contending what the expectations were 11 years ago, the issue is what the expectations are today. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
