PyPI, Cheesecake, and such

Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date and not representative. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

I'm really late to the PyPI party. Both of the projects I've worked on over the years are in PyPI, but neither are up to date and neither support easy_install.

Figured I'd update them now. Three things I bumped into while working on Lyntin:

  1. the PyPI tutorial is good and walks you through what you need to know,

  2. the list of classifiers <http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=list_classifiers>, and

  3. the Cheesecake folks have scores for all the PyPi modules

That last one is kind of interesting. You can see the scores and the Cheesecake log output.
