To elaborate a bit and avoid misunderstandings, here are screenshots of the aforementioned pages on my Web browser: http://pitrou.net/warehouse.png http://pitrou.net/pypi.png Note how you get much more content on the current PyPI version, without the page being too cluttered (some of the clutter actually comes from the generic python.org navigation bar). Of course I'm not saying the current PyPI layout is great and it shouldn't be replaced or overhauled, but it does have that virtue of leaving most of the page area to the project description. (btw, I've shrank the warehouse font size a bit to make the comparison fair, otherwise it would have been worse) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
