the main differences as i see them (note i am the devpi-server author, though): - pypiserver supports uploading to private indexes, devpi-server not yet (but next week / on trunk already :) - pypiserver has no dependencies (ships bottle inline), devpi-server depends on redis (to be dropped next week for no-dep fs-storage) and bottle, requests, py, all proven libraries. - pypiserver redirects the lookup of pypi packages to pypi.python.org, devpi-server caches them and serves everything (including #egg-links) through itself, allowing complete offline operations (including caching/serving of 3rd party site's packages) using the extended PEP381 mirror protocol - pypiserver has a good and simple implementation, devpi-server is little more complex mostly due to its caching/crawling logic. - both are very well tested and maintained but pypiserver is out there for a longer time already, so has seen more RL-testing.
