> What is the reason for not publishing Python 2.0 on SF for download?

From BeOpen.com's POV, so long as they were paying major bills, they would
rather have download traffic tickle their ad banners than SF's ad banners.

From our (PythonLabs) POV, another publishing site is more work, and one URL
is about as good as any other.  Besides, rising to the top of SF's "most
active" list has not been an explicit life goal for any of us <wink>.

I didn't see any advantage claimed for publishing on SF.  Without an
advantage, the work/benefit ratio is infinite.
