Making it computer readable to get those packages in the KGS is not that useful, I imagine, though making it so could potentially see tools being developed. > What is the need for computer > readable information about where the package is being developed. That's a real usecase. There are tools that can already use this information, in particular mr.developer: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mr.developer It's nice to be able to just get the relevant checkout of a package without having to hunt around trying to figure out where it is.
