A bit OT, but from your blog post on the subject:
I'd like to go further and to think about a ssh-agent like system, so
there's no need
to enter the pasword everytime you work with PyPI in the same session.
Have you had any feedback on this yet?
Here's some: how about instead of an ssh-like system, use ssh itself.
Front
PyPI with an ssh server that users connect to. That way it is both secure
and
the infrastructure (agent, etc.) is already in place.
+1 Note that paramiko or the Twisted ssh support should make this fairly
straightforward to implement. (I have need to build a custom ssh server
soon for a project, and I'll find out if this statement is correct. :)
I'd like to hear more about the details of how distutils/pypi would be
using SSH, but this is potentially a project I'd be willing to volunteer
some time to implement.
