I was trying to install wxPython earlier today. Not RTFMing, I tried
'easy_install wx', which ended up installing this strange module:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wx
Looking at the download stats, it seems to be confusing ~1000 users a
month, while not providing any significant functionality.
I don't really have any way to contact the author of the module. Is
there any way to have this deleted/renamed?
There is a PyPI/catalog mailing list, which I believe is the one
mirrored as gmane.comp.python.org at news.gmane.com. However, the PyPI
admins are reluctant to unilaterally delete a package. They might try to
contact the owner of 'wx'. To bad wcPython did not grab the abbreviation.
