Hi,
here's some ideas and observations from other places rating python projects.
Depending on the community(and particular packages), I'm not sure if
it will attract trolls or not. As an example, the comments on the
pygame website I can't remember negative comments on there. I'm sure

Comments face a related issue which exposes the psychology a bit more
clearly: there's a barrier to commenting (you have to register)
In the current implementation on PyPI, you also have to register to
participate in the rating.
In my experience, this

If PyPI is meant to go social rather than being purely a search
engine, then the ones who put their content up on PyPI should at
the very least be allowed to reply to comments
That's already the case - package authors can respond to comments.

Telling them to use the tracker is, IMO, depriving them of
their right to explain their evaluation of the package; a bug tracker is

-1 That would defeat the purpose of being able to channel feedback to an
alternative location, e.g. the dedicated issue trackers for my packages.
Please understand that the purpose of the commenting system is *not*
to report bugs, but to let users voice their genuine opinion about the
package.
Why not create a separate site with ratings and comments, along the
lines of Jacob's cheeserater.com (now defunct) or Plone's software center?
So it would all be fine, if I only rendered the comments on
ratepypi.org, instead of pypi.python.org?
Would it still be ok if a link from
I think there are issues with both ratings and comments, and that at
the very least the decision to enable/disable them should be left to
the package's administrator.
First up, ratings and comments in general:
