Yup, I'm aware of this. I was making a general comment that it is better for package authors to register their packages in PyPI in such a way that they have the 'Download URL' set properly to the actual tarball .. ...
In fact, last week .. there was a first internal alpha of the tool which at the moment can download and install packages from the internal binary repository which has over 4000 package releases for mac/lin/win.
ok - so on the one hand you are suggesting that people use pypi and then on the other you are suggesting that activestate will have its own package repository....
Although, some important packages (eg: scipy, numpy, pyqt, etc..) are not yet in the repository .. and we need to deal with these build/metadata issues before making a public release.
Aha - sounds good. David
