The OP of this thread is not alone -- folks want an authoritative source -- they may not get that, but a bunch of blogs by who knows who is about as far from that you can get. And isn't that what we have already? If you google a question like "what's a good python package for xxxxx?" you generally get hits. I usually do that before I look directly on PyPI, because PyPI has a lot of cruft and it's hard to sort out -- I'd rather start with at least *someone's* recommendation. > > Only well researched, well defined, unambiguous problems, that depend > on mature components of core python and are lacking in PyPI and stdlib. > Not easy to get consenson on that :-) > I don’t think I am in position to create a repo for this group, even > deciding on a repo name is beyond my competence level here.

I *think* It's a Python package review site, and if so, that could work. You'd need a modest sized core team to review entries, and then allow anyone to contribute a review -- the core team would "simply" decide if it's a decent review or not. LIke anything else, this would only work once there was some critical mass -- enough reviews that folks would notice it.

I looked really quickly and there's some packages there, maybe something good. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
