Going to that page gives brief instructions for using it with easy_install and zc.buildout.
FYI, the handling of homepage and download links is broken. You have e.g. 'meta="homepage"' instead of 'rel="homepage"', so easy_install doesn't pick these up and look for links there, meaning that ppix fails to find downloads for e.g. pywin32 which is hosted at Sourceforge.
Doh! Fixed.
(On a perhaps not entirely unrelated note, the Cheeseshop appears to be down at the moment:
"""Error...

psycopg.OperationalError: no connection to the server""")
By the way, I'd suggest explaining (or linking to an explanation) on the ppix main page describing how to configure easy_install such that the '-i' option isn't necessary.
If you send me some text, I'd be happy to add it to the ppix main page.
Perhaps we could add an example to the EasyInstall docs somewhere near:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#creating-your- own-package-index
and then link to it from the ppix page.
