Someone changed it, easy_install broke, and a compromise was to keep /pypi/ the way it was (but not /pypi). Probably this could be removed, as the /simple/ index is already case-insensitive, so easy_install shouldn't have to hit /pypi/ at all. -- Ian Bicking | http://blog.ianbicking.org | http://topplabs.org/civichacker
