The goal is to provide a cross platform GUI tool that will vastly simplify loading and installing packages under python.
Thanks for the announcement.
- written in python - use WXWidgets for cross compatability - utilises distutils - provide a GUI wrapper for EasyInstall and pip
This all sounds good.
- fetches packages from http://pypi.python.org/pypi using their XML-RPC interface.
Surely this is something that should be done by the package management library, making it available in one place for each front-end tool; not implemented in a specific front-end tool? -- \ “Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does | `\ not depend on us.
