I am sure this has been discussed before, and this might not even be the best place for this discussion, but I just wanted to make sure this has been thought about.

What if pypi.org supported private repos at a cost, similar to npm?

This would be able to help support the cost of pypi, and hopefully make it better/more reliable, thus in turn improving the python community.

If this discussion should happen somewhere else, let me know.
