Do you really think every single Python package in PyPI deserves to be packaged for every distribution? I don't. How do I make a difference? When I need something I download it.

This is narrow-minded. I understand your POV, I really do (I use a debian-based system myself, and hate the way software installation works on any other system), but what you are saying cannot work in a general manner.
IMHO we could have a command-line search feature à la CPAN at PyPI like what apt provides. $ pypi-search "foo" Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé - Directeur Technique INGENIWEB (TM) - SAS 50000 Euros - RC B 438 725 632 Bureaux de la Colline - 1 rue Royale - Bâtiment D - 9ème étage 92210 Saint Cloud - France Phone : 01.78.15.24.00 / Fax : 01 46 02 44 04 http://www.ingeniweb.com - une société du groupe Alter Way
