ok, that is even funnier - or are all jokes ruined by being explained?


btw, I don't think most people are uploading their packages yet.  You just
have to compare the number of python projects on A) sourceforge/googlecode,
B) python cookbook C) pygame projects
There's still massive amounts of python code not indexed by pypi.

oh, was projects one of the names being considered?  projects.python.org ?

How does the cookbook idea fit in with pypi?  I guess I've seen pypi as
about packages and modules rather than projects and cookbook recipes.  Maybe
those things were left out on purpose?

Minor hysterical note: The original joke, as I understand it, was
based on the fact that PyPI originally didn't contain any packages
(or distributions). Like the cheeseshop having no cheese, the package
index had no packages (or even distributions).  The original joke
doesn't really apply any more as many or most of us are actually
uploading our distributions, so the project index really does indeed
have cheese, I mean distributions.
