Amen to that, but who will pay for it? I imagine a great deal of processing power would be required for this. How do implementors of other languages handle this?
I talked with someone who is member of the python software foundation, and he said that money for projects like this is available. Of course this was no official statement.
No, money for a project of this scale is not available (the person you spoke to may have been thinking of PSF development grants, which typically only cover 4-12 weeks of dedicated development work by a single developer on a project with specific near term objectives, not running on ongoing service that would dwarf PyPI itself in complexity)
Yes, running a permanent build-server might be too high regular expenses. I think providing a self hostable build server which can be started with one command would be such a project. Regards, Thomas Güttler -- Thomas Guettler http://www.thomas-guettler.de/
