FWIW: I support Holger's request to introduce multi repository support *without* breaking existing setups.
Simply add the possibility for authors to register external indexes, have pip, setuptools, et al. crawl these in addition to what's up on the PyPI package page (using the logic that has existed in these tools for years) and then let the author decide whether they want to remove existing downloads from PyPI or not. This allows for older installations to continue working, while also (optionally) supporting a setup which does not use PyPI for hosting at all. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
