We actually have a definition for Public Index Server, It’s ""Public index servers" are index servers which allow distribution uploads from untrusted third parties. The Python Package Index [3] is a public index server.”. This is defined in PEP 426. But thinking about it, that doesn't particularly match it either, because something like binstar allows this, but should allow local versions. --- Donald Stufft PGP: 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
