there are a large number of automatic downloads from web crawlers that will index or re-host the packages.
some of them are legit, others are for advertising farms ( they do a lot of SEO optimization against your project , to overtake the real origin in search rankings - then advertise against the traffic ) or marketing scams ( every time i upload something, i get a new "Your package was included in this prestigious directory!" form letter ) otherwise, I've had the same experiences as you. i've discovered that if you want feedback/etc - the best option is to make a link in the PyPi record and the homepage to a GitHub page ( or make the homepage on github ). aside from tapping into their community / tools , it just makes it super easy for someone to comment "this is great" or ticket some bugs/feature requests .. vs emailing you or emailing a public list. i've also had people randomly fork, rewrite and push code back to me - without hearing from them. and i've done the same too -- finding it faster to just fork , fix and pull-request than to wait on a debate. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
