"Python Packaging User Guide"
by Marcus Smith July 2, 2013

July 2, 2013

Everyone: Soon after pycon, the "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Packaging" (HHGTP) was forked into the "Python Packaging User Guide". src: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/python-packaging-user-guide built: https://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Here's the original discussion on distutils-sig: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2013-March/020215.html It's a PyPA project, and the goal is for it to become the de facto place for tutorials and where to find the current state of PEPs and development efforts. The idea is that once it's worthy, the python core docs would re-link from the HHGTP to the new guide, but it **needs work.** The TOC is sound and some of the sections are OK, but the two main tutorials are sorely lacking. I intend to keep working on it when I can, but help is appreciated. The project is open for issue logging and pull requests. Thanks, Marcus

PyPI Hosting Mode Migration
by Donald Stufft July 1, 2013

July 1, 2013

Hello! I've just migrated PyPI to mostly no external url hosting modes as per PEP438. This should result in a huge speedup when installing a wide number of packages. Some stats: 18,753 packages migrated to pypi-explicit (First option) 1,022 packages migrated to pypi-scrape (Second option) 25,759 total packages using pypi-explicit 1,046 total packages using pypi-scrape 5,384 total packages using pypi-scrape-crawl The scripts that discovered what version a project could be are located at https://github.com/dstufft/pypi.linkcheck/tree/migration. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
