Richard Jones' Log: Now open...
The Python Cheese Shop!
Big thanks to everyone who helped get this thing going, including AMK for his help this morning getting the finishing touches made.
Please help spread the word.
Update: Interesting, the slashdot announcement didn't make the front page. After all this time with people asking where Python's CPAN is... ho hum. The post did generate this nice spoof by TripMaster Monkey:
Customer: Now, then, some packages, my good man.
Owner: Certainly, sir! What would you like?
Customer: How about some nice bitbake?
Owner: I'm afraid we're fresh out of bitbake, sir.
Customer: No matter...have you any testoob?
Owner: Not...as...such, sir.
Customer: Well then, perhaps some SiGL?
Owner: Normally, yes, sir. Hard drive broke down.
Customer: I see...do you in fact have any packages?
Owner: Certainly, sir! This is The Cheese Shop, sir! We have -
Customer: No no no...don't tell me, I'm keen to guess...
No, removing the /pypi part confused the poor code too much, so we kept it.
Besides, there's also /packages.
Is /pypi redundant in the URL? Isn't pypi and cheeseshop the same thing?
