Phase 1 of PEP 438 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0438/) has begun.
Deployed to production PyPI is:
- New packages default to pypi-explicit
- Old packages default to pypi-scrape-crawl
- Package Maintainers can select which hosting mode to use
- Package Maintainers can control what urls show up on their /simple/ index
What's still happening:
- All existing packages will be processed to determine if they host files
on PyPI, if they host files externally but link directly, or if they Host files
externally and require scraping the home or download url pages.
- Taking the data obtained from processing email users to tell them if
their package can be moved to a more restrictive download option (e.g. all
their versions are installable directly from PyPI, or from a direct link from
PyPI).
- A Month after that actually moving them to their detected new hosting
mode (if possible on a per project basis).
