Right. However, if setuptools would stop making case insensitive lookups to the index, lookups to unregistered packages would become more efficient.
I'm not sure I follow you. If a non-registered package is used as a dependency, the setup() will need to specify dependency_links, in which case PyPI will not be consulted.
Ah, ok. So is it then correct that setuptools never looks at pypi/, unless the user misspelled a package name on the command line? Regards, Martin
