No, money for a project of this scale is not available (the person you spoke to may have been thinking of PSF development grants, which typically only cover 4-12 weeks of dedicated development work by a single developer on a project with specific near term objectives, not running on ongoing service that would dwarf PyPI itself in complexity) Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
