Hi Octavian,
I didn't see anyone reply to you on the list...

The short answer to your question is "no". PyPI stands for the Python Package Index. The key word there is "Index". It's a catalog of packages but many of those packages are hosted elsewhere. The places where those packages are hosted may or may not have an issue tracker, etc. 

For instance, one the packages that I offer through PyPI (posix_ipc) is hosted on my personal Web site. 

Hope this helps
Philip
