Hi Richard, hi all, While reading the pypi main and other sources i wondered how we could switch off serving links from description_html, at least on a per-project basis. It's really annoying that when you start to add some links to a long_description that installation of your package will thus slow down around the world. Even if you remove the links from the next release.
How could we arrange for a maintainer to communicate to the pypi-server that a particular project should not ever serve links from description_html (and maybe not even from the homepage while we are at it)? Preferably it should be something that can be done from existing setup.py files, like adding a special trove-classifier or keyword. But a little custom tool or a web page form would be ok as well. If maintainers could easily switch off these extra links, then this means less stress for the pypi server and a global considerable speedup of installing python packages as often most of the pip/easy_install time is spent with checking out these URLs. best, holger
