I can understand why you are opposed: for the same reason I don't want 
to lead such a project. We both have invested time into the PyPI code 
base, and I disagree with all the complaints I heard about it being 
incomprehensible.

The fact remains that people continue to consider the code 
incomprehensible, and that those very people claimed that they would 
prefer if some other web framework was used, specifically Django.
I know Richard Jones is also in favor of a rewrite in Django.

I can also understand that Zope fans might be upset by the prospect of 
having to use Django; to those, I'd say "get over it".

Most definitely.
