Yep. For example, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-dateutil/json ; https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-dateutil/1.5/json . This package does not declare requires_python or use classifiers, and I don't know whether requires_python would show up there anyway. pip doesn't even read those json files, but if it did it would be very slow. pip reads this page: https://pypi.python.org/simple/python-dateutil/ and I suppose also the linked labix homepage. _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
