JFTR, this already exists. a.mirrors.pypi.python.org and
b.mirrors.pypi.python.org are already there and could be used by clients.
I wasn't aware of these mirrors. Do you maintain them ? how are they
synchronized ?
Yes, using pep381client. Notice that a.mirrors is dinsdale itself,
so there is only a single mirror.
Do you get the statistics if we use them ?
Not yet; that's not implemented yet. More specifically, I get the
statistics, but the log files are not yet processed.
If so, we could start to use them in all clients asap. (as fallbacks
if PyPI gets down)
As I said: setuptools and distribute should start supporting PEP 381,
as an experimental feature.
- adding the client-side code in a project like Distribute or Pp
I think MAL believes that this would not be necessary if the Amazon
service would be used; I remain skeptical. I'd rather have the clients
try explicitly (and indicate to the user that they are using a mirror).
Regards,
Martin
