Hi George,<br>
The PyPI codebase is pretty old and difficult to maintain, so there is<br>
currently a project under way to replace it with a new implementation.<br>
The project is hosted at <a href="https://github.com/pypa/warehouse" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/pypa/wareho<wbr>use</a> and if<br>
you're interested in getting involved that's probably the best<br>
starting point for you. With regard to your two specific points:<br>
<br>
> 1. Query like in a webshop: checkboxes should use to select from attributes<br>
<br>
The PyPI search interface is known to be pretty limited. I don't know<br>
what changes have been put into the warehouse interface so far, but<br>
I'd suggest checking out the state of their search, and if you still<br>
feel there's scope for improvements, I'm sure they would be interested<br>
in suggestions/contributions.<br>
<br>
> 2. It would would be good to implement some user rating mechanism like in the webshops or software stores.<br>
<br>
This has been debated, both here and (I believe) on other lists in the<br>
past. The general consensus is that it's not immediately obvious that<br>
this would be beneficial. I'd suggest you do some searches to dig up<br>
the history of this suggestion (sorry, I don't have any direct links)<br>
and see if you feel there's something that has been missed - if so,<br>
again the best place to propose this would be with the Warehouse guys.<br>
<br>
Paul<br>
