A quick hack is to look at the user agent (urllib2) and remove your checkbox in this case. A cleaner step would be to remove this and create a new UI page to register the users from within the web version, and change the human links in your web app. >> We could think about deprecating it maybe, but we cannot break all >> existing python versions with a change in the PyPI UI like that... > > This happened several months ago, and nobody complained so far.

You cannot break existing software then say you don't consider this a "serious" problem because it's not widely used. Are you really expecting me to remove silently this feature from all python versions documentation and tell people it's not a serious problem ? -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
