We (PyPI / Cheese Shop developers) are talking to the CodeZoo people about
the relationship between the two systems. Things PyPI has:

1. python setup.py register
2. python setup.py (sdist|bdist|bdist_egg|bdist_wininst|...) upload
3. http://cheeseshop.python.org/
4. better categorisation (IMO)
5. XML-RPC interface
6. 852 packages registered

The things that CodeZoo has:

1. reviews, user tips and ratings
2. a full-time editor to make sure that the reviews are reasonable
3. links to O'Reilly articles
4. a big DOWNLOAD button. hurm, that's a good idea, I should add one of
   those to the PyPI interface... I hope no-one has that patented
5. DOAP (being added to PyPI)
6. Ads in the top bar and a sidebar (hehe)

Getting links from PyPI over to the CodeZoo information would be pretty
easy. Getting links from the CodeZoo pages to PyPI information / packages
would be pretty easy.
