Part of the pypi problem is a startup problem of initially low numbers. If the only people who bother to log in to rate are the disgruntled, then the ratings/reviews will be biased. I wonder how many of the people promoting the new feature have themselves logged in to systematically rate and possibly comment on every package they have looked at, and thereby kickstart the system with fair responses.
For what it's worth, I never look at PyPI. I get my packages either through Gentoo's portage or, if it isn't there (yet), by finding the package's home site through Google. So I'm a happy user of a number of packages, whose comments will never show up on PyPI. --David (RDM) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
