The fact that you consider it is not linked is exactly what's wrong in my own opinion. If you want a reliable distribution channel, its content (the installers) has to be reliable, and for the content to be reliable, the tools to produce them have too as well. When you have a failure with easy_install about some sandbox violation, missing file, etc... it is a failure of Pypi for the user, but the underlying reason is the packaging tool in the first place. > And isn't > the answer still: "Well, do it then?" http://github.com/cournape/toydist.git which is why I am trying to get some agreement on at least some low level mechanisms which can be shared between tools. The exact thing you already complain last time this was discussed.
