Announcing Setuptools 0.7b3
by Jason R. Coombs May 26, 2013

May 26, 2013

Setuptools and Distribute are now merged, and the new home can be found at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools. Issues for Distribute are still being maintained at its old home, but releases are now made from the 'distribute' fork on the setuptools repo. Future releases of Distribute (if any) will be maintenance only. The new setuptools, which is designed to be largely compatible both with Distribute and Setuptools can now be downloaded on the 'downloads' page of the PyPA site: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads For those familiar with setuptools/distribute, the upgrade process is pretty straightforward: remove your old versions of distribute and/or setuptools and install the latest. To install the latest, extract the .tar.gz, and run setup.py in the target environment. Windows .msi installers have been provided as well. Ez_setup.py will not yet work until the official release is made to PyPI. I encourage all of those with experience or interest in packaging to try out the new setuptools in your environments. Test it against your tool chain. Provide feedback and file issues in the project site. This limited public release is provided as an advance release prior to the full public release. Assuming there are no reported blocking issues, a final 0.7 release will be made to PyPI in the coming weeks. Regards, Jason

does pypi or red-dove have a better firehose API than "download all the packages"?
by Daniel Holth May 25, 2013

May 25, 2013

Is there an API for "all the metadata for everything" that doesn't require one web request per package version? Maybe something like an rdiff-backup of a database?

New Restrictions on Package Names
by Donald Stufft May 23, 2013

May 23, 2013

Hello! I've just deployed a change to PyPI that restricts all *new* packages names to the follow: * Must start with an ASCII alphanumeric (``[a-zA-Z0-9]``) * Must contain only: - ASCII letters (``[a-zA-Z]``) - ASCII digits (``[0-9]``) - underscores (``_``) - hyphens (``-``) - periods (``.``) * Must end with an ASCII alphanumeric (``[a-zA-Z0-9]``) Projects that have already registered with a name that doesn't follow these restrictions will still be able to upload. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA

PEP 438 - Transition Phase 1
by Donald Stufft May 20, 2013

May 20, 2013

Phase 1 of PEP 438 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0438/) has begun. Deployed to production PyPI is: - New packages default to pypi-explicit - Old packages default to pypi-scrape-crawl - Package Maintainers can select which hosting mode to use - Package Maintainers can control what urls show up on their /simple/ index What's still happening: - All existing packages will be processed to determine if they host files on PyPI, if they host files externally but link directly, or if they Host files externally and require scraping the home or download url pages. - Taking the data obtained from processing email users to tell them if their package can be moved to a more restrictive download option (e.g. all their versions are installable directly from PyPI, or from a direct link from PyPI). - A Month after that actually moving them to their detected new hosting mode (if possible on a per project basis). ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
