> Alexis, you introduced the client/crawler naming after reading some book; what do you think now?
Making the distinction between a crawler and a client is probably not a
good idea since it introduces two concepts instead of one simple one.
We have indexes and different ways to access them: What about having an
"XMLRPCClient" and a "SimpleClient"?
In addition, having a simpler API, something like
packaging.indexes.get_client('simple' OR 'xmlrpc') can be useful, but
that's a different issue.
