I think maybe if we have an uploader tool like the one I mentioned in one of the other spinoff threads, we could address at least the current upload situation by making it super easy to upload your external files. Better still, have a button you can press in the PyPI UI that says, "fetch all my external distributions", and it gives you a preview of the download files it's going to fetch (so you can filter out mis-detected ones), and then it does the pulling. Such a tool could survive migration to the new infrastructure as well. _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
