Okay, I think I have this now:

https://secure.simplistix.co.uk/svn/Simplistix/mailinglogger/tags/3.2.1/

However, when I do:

python2.4 setup.py sdist bdist_egg upload

...none of the package metadata gets uploaded:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=display&name=mailinglogger&version=3.2.1

This used to work:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=display&name=mailinglogger&version=3.2.0

...and I can't see any changes in my setup.py that might be relevent.

Any ideas? Is there a problem with PyPi at the moment?

I tried prettymuch every combination, all with varying degrees of failure...
