Python needs a CPyAN

I must admit I found CPAN quite nice when I used Perl, and it would be terrific to have an equivalent for Python modules, at least for those of us using Windows boxes.

but... sometimes it's a matter of a bridge too far. 

Afterall, the Perl guys had more than one way to do it (CPAN)...




P.S.  if Python reflects original thinking, why are so many Python modules named "   py    "?
