Yes, and we've found a way similar to CPAN, with some Python specifics
(PyPI download statistics mainly)

Oh my, we're cycling again.

Nothing personal to you or Jim, but I have a sudden fatigue on
packaging because it seems like people are ignoring what's being done
to complain afterwards about us suffering of some kind of NIH :)

If you're seeing anything you don't like in PEP  381 (accepted a while
ago), go ahead and propose some improvements.

But please keep in mind that we've looked at other systems before we
wrote that PEP.

Cheers
Tarek
