CheeseShop is formerly known as PyPI, the Python Package Index. It's a central repository for Python add-ons.

If that's all you want from c.l.p it's easier to subscribe to python-announce and the cheeseshop feed.

Maybe we should start a thread of favorite addons. For me, Jason Orendorff's path module is definitely #1 on the list, probably followed by Fredrik Lundh's ElementTree.

You have my deepest sympathy :-) Maybe you could use TurboGears instead.
