I've been working for this in PEP 381 - http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0381/ And we started the implementation in PyPI code with MvL during the last Pycon, It's not far from ready, but I had other topics to finish. But if there's interest we can finish its implementation, so sourceforge could be one of those mirrors. > > > Richard > > _______________________________________________ > Catalog-SIG mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig > -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
