i know you're just being flip here and that's fine with me. that said, i'd love to! how big is PyPI? (huge) will it fit on an SSD? (no) my local machine and pipeline isn't big enough to crunch it (too bad). etc. i'm going to have fun here so you can ignore this if you'd like. my name for the new archive is called OctoPyPIE. :) uploads to OPPIE are parsed from the start to be python3 compatible only. if it is not compatible then the code is quarantined with a message which says "fix it and try again, we no longer accept incompatible code." the quarantined python2 code will be used for background processing (to see what is most broken) but it is never distributed further. it is just indexed, dependencies checked, noting which ones are most frequently used and that information kept to help focus the broader effort of conversion. i think we should call the quarantine area ISENGUARD and the programs for chewing it up called ENT. code that eventually may get a fixer so that it could be promoted back to OPPIE without any manual intervention would be done by ELROND. code which is impossible to ever be manually converted would be left and perhaps would eventually end up in MORDOR after being transported by the RINGWRAITH. dev null is of course MTDOOM. those who come to the table of OPPIE only eat the freshest pie. HOBBITS like only the best. thus is finished the 2nd AGE. songbird -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
