Technically, that's true. However, a web form is normally meant for web users to work with and in this case, you can hardly expect a user to enter all those details by hand. It would also be error-prone. That's why I used the term RPC. I was actually thinking of using the XML-RPC interface to PyPI, but the REST interface would do just as well. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Dec 03 2009) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
