ok, that is even funnier - or are all jokes ruined by being explained?<br><br><br>btw, I don't think most people are uploading their packages yet. You just have to compare the number of python projects on A) sourceforge/googlecode, B) python cookbook C) pygame projects
<br>There's still massive amounts of python code not indexed by pypi.<br><br>oh, was projects one of the names being considered? <a href="http://projects.python.org">projects.python.org</a> ? <br><br>How does the cookbook idea fit in with pypi? I guess I've seen pypi as about packages and modules rather than projects and cookbook recipes. Maybe those things were left out on purpose?
