Hey guys,

Two things on my mind today:

(1) Next meeting is next week: Thurs, Feb 9 at Office Nomads.

We'll be doing a coding problem.  I'll present the problem and we'll split
up into groups of 2-3 to work together to solve it.  Then we can do a show
and tell, talk about different implementations, etc.  Should be fun!  Bring
a laptop if possible.

(2) Question about PyPi

Anyone know if it's possible to setup a reverse proxy (e.g. Varnish) to
cache PyPi packages?  I'm working on a project where we may have a strange
usage pattern where we'll be setting up virtualenvs frequently and
downloding similar packages over and over.  I don't want to go to PyPi if I
can avoid it (for performance / bandwidth reasons).

Varnish seems like it'd do the trick, but I'm not sure if PyPi does things
like set No-Cache headers, or if there's more complexity going on than just
simple GET downloads from the central repo.

any thoughts?

cheers
