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
