[Distutils] easy_install installing beta version of psycopg2

2011-02-16 Thread Daniele Varrazzo
Hello, trying to install psycopg2 via easy_install (distribute 0.6.14), the user received the version 2.4 beta2 instead of the latest stable 2.3.1. 2.4 beta2 has never been uploaded on PyPI and is not even listed in the http://pypi.python.org/simple/psycopg2/ I think this is a serious issue.

[Distutils] zc.buildout: the extended-by option

2011-02-16 Thread Thomas Lotze
Hi, the buildout section used to have an option named extended-by that has been deprecated for quite a while. The option is not (no longer?) present in documentation and tests and the only thing left of it is the implementation and a check that is supposed to result in a deprecation warning.

On PyPI there is *a single* version not hidden of psycopg. On http://pypi.python.org/pypi/psycopg2 there is a big fat link to a psycopg2-2.3.2.tar.gz package. easy_install doesn't consider this page at all (anymore). Instead, it considers the simple API, which lists the files uploaded to PyPI
