Where is that specification? Does it require only http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ to be voluminous or also http://pypi.python.org/pypi to provide some search interface for automatic processing? There should be no problem in moving search page to the root http://pypi.python.org/ if spec is silent about the latter. -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ 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
