Could you point me to the specific mailing thread where it was discussed that commercial services must be disallowed from mirroring PyPI's data - specifically hosted source distributions and metadata as exposed by its XMLRPC interface?

Just to clarify, we are not pulling PyPI's data (source and/or metadata) "en masse" -- the update happens incrementally[1] each day, based on the releases that happen on that day, so as to not put too much load on PyPI's servers. > Mirroring the metadata I > understand, not sure if I like the idea of my code on a website with a "Buy > Now" link (I understand you aren't selling the actual project, just the > service of the build farm, but for a pure-python package that sounds an > awful lot like splitting hairs).

I certainly can't force you to change given the terms of the BSD license, but it seems odd that a package could have an egg or sdist on PyPI that will work just fine under Win64 and yet you charge for it on your system. There are certainly packages out there for which commercially supported Windows builds are a huge win for many people, but to apply that brush to everything single package on the free, public index? It just makes me uneasy. >> There is also the part on >> the side about buying a redistribution license. > Yes, an OEM license is required if you want to commercially > *redistribute* (not use) ActivePerl, ActivePython or ActiveTcl (the > core interpreter and its support libraries). It could be misinterpreted from that page to imply that a license is required to redistribute that particular package. --Noah From martin at v.loewis.de Thu Nov 11 20:25:25 2010 From: martin at v.loewis.de (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22Martin_v=2E_L=F6wis=22?=) Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 20:25:25 +0100 Subject: [Catalog-sig] ANN: PyPM Index In-Reply-To: <03f301cb8145$d1bca9c0$7535fd40$@net> References: <4CDB4201.3070505@activestate.com> <03f301cb8145$d1bca9c0$7535fd40$@net> Message-ID: <4CDC4325.4080103@v.loewis.de> > Out of curiosity, wasn't there some musing earlier that people shouldn't be > mirroring PyPI data in a commercial context?

I personally don't object to such activities, as long as the offering is not misleading (e.g. by suggesting that you have to pay for software that is actually available for free as well). I'd rather see the free market decide on the fate of such services. In the specific case, the service being offered apparently is to provide prebuilt packages. Denying such a service would be unfair, IMO, as other companies/organizations are also allowed to distribute Python packages, often in a repackaged form (e.g. Ubuntu packages or the Enthought distribution). Of course, it would be the responsibility of the distributor of such a repackaging to comply to the respective licenses of each package. Using the metadata, this might still be possible in an automated manner. If authors feel that their licensing conditions are violated, they should contact ActiveState and ask for corrections. OTOH, I'm not surprised by opposition to this kind of service, since people might mistake the web pages as suggesting that you actually need to use pypm to install the respective packages - when this is actually only needed to install the PyPM build, and you might well get around installing it just as easily in a different form.

The "import" feature shows if multiple packages provide the same import (eg: site-packages/tests) ... and, map packages to imports and vice-versa. See the "import conflicts" section for interesting set of cases.

I can see that the emails appears in clear for instance, and I don't think it is a good idea. Spammers bots are looking for that. Also, even if the service you propose is great (that's good to know there are some ways to get binary packages easily), adding another tool (pypm) to the stack, and refering only to this one on your pages seems a bit confusing. People start to use tools like setuptools/distribute and pip, and, oh, there is another one ! Otherwise, I think you're adding some great things to the current index: I do like to have a feed with the failing builds and the list of imports with the same name. cheers, Alex Le 11/25/2010 06:09 AM, Sridhar Ratnakumar a ?crit : > Hi, > > There are, now, a couple more features to the previously announced PyPM > Index that I think would be of interest if you are a developer of Python > packages on PyPI. > > 1. an RSS feed for each author that shows the recently failing builds > (eg: to identify bugs in releases) > 2.

There is a 'Give Site Feedback' link in the footer of the site. Or activepython-feedback at activestate.com - but you can also directly email me. > I can see that the emails appears in clear for instance, and I don't > think it is a good idea. Spammers bots are looking for that. Actually, they don't. Emails are obfustcated using ROT13 and decoded in the browser. Take a look at the HTML source. > Also, even if the service you propose is great (that's good to know > there are some ways to get binary packages easily), adding another tool > (pypm) to the stack, and refering only to this one on your pages seems a > bit confusing.

I suppose we could discuss about the *relation* between the various tools in the site FAQ: pip and easy_install are primarily source-based installers (except - easy_install supports egg/binst too), while PyPM is a binary-based installer .. somewhat similar to apt-get/rpm. I generally recommend ActivePython users to install the package using PyPM, and only if that fails, attempt the same using pip/easy_install ... which could also go to the FAQ. > Otherwise, I think you're adding some great things to the current index: > I do like to have a feed with the failing builds and the list of imports > with the same name.
