Unfortunately, it appears that people disagree about the value of that specific search form: some say that bringing it back as-is would be an improvement over the status quo, you seem to be saying that it would make things worse. In any case, that's "just" code. Contributions are welcome. I hope nobody seriously considers writing a package registry/repository from scratch just because the current one doesn't have a good search feature. Instead, people willing to contribute should just do so. > Right now, the site doesn't provide an obvious, direct way to get > to a package *even if you know the exact name of the package*. As people pointed out on the SIG list: sure it does. If you know the package name is "ctypes", you enter into your browser http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/ctypes (I know this works because I implemented it) Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
