Cool! If this proves useful, people are encouraged to contribute the proper patches to PyPI to regenerate the page directly on each log change. There is a slight transactional trickiness to doing so: If you regenerate before the commit, it might be that the commit fails; then you would have to rollback the page update, too. If you regenerate after commit, it might be that you run into race conditions if the same package sees two updates in two transactions very quickly, and the second regeneration completes before the first one. If people would find it easier to make these pages dynamic, such patches would also be kindly accepted. Generating the pages on access should be fairly cheap; the SQL is select filename,md5_digest from release_files where name='setuptools'; and putting the result of that into an ppix-like HTML page should be much faster than invoking ZPT.
