pypi.python.org as single point of failure
Hello together, because of the breakdown of pypi.python.org I found that this Python index is hardcoded in the distribute_setup.py-script. I tried to workaround the breakage of the index-server by changing my hosts-file pointing to a pypi-mirror found on http://www.coactivate.org/projects/pypi-mirroring/project-home, but the directory structure is different there, so it didn't work. I ran into this problem first by using the bootstrap-command of zc.buildout. this is probably the wrong list to discuss this, but I think it should be possible to *fully* replace pypi by a mirror for all setuptools, distribute, zc.buildout-variants by configuration. Cheers, -Tom

The difference is the lack of /simple in the directory structure, btw. So http://pypi.python.org/simple/ would be the same as http://pypi.zopyx.com/ . So the latter is without the /simple.

I know, but that's not the issue. It is that http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/ is hardcoded in http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py The location of the distribute-egg should be a configurable option of distribute_setup.py -Tom
