Excellent, I'm a great fan of cheesecake. Can I ask how packages are selected for scoring? There seems a lot fewer packages on the list than everything in PyPI. I will be giving a couple of talks on eggs at PyCon2007 next week, one aimed at beginners using eggs and one at developers. A key messages of the second talk will be how to make packages easy_install compatible. I'd like to publicise this cheesecake service there.

It is available at this address: http://pypi.pycheesecake.org/pypi/ . Probably of most interest here is the easy_installability page (http://pypi.pycheesecake.org/pypi/easy_installability) which shows releases which are listed on PyPI, yet still can't be easy_installed. If this feature proves itself to be reliable it could probably substitute a list of successful installations on http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PackageNotes . I'm open to any suggestions on how this service can be improved. You can learn more about Cheesecake principles in this recent blog post: http://mousebender.wordpress.com/2007/02/09/cheesecake-for-all/ .
