Someone seems to be spamming PyPI by uploading multiple stupid packages. =
Not sure if it's some form of advertising spam or just idiocy.

Don't know if we should care though... maybe policing uploads is worse =
than cluttering PyPI's disk space and RSS feed with dumb 1 KB packages.

> girlfriend 1.0.1	10	A really simple module that allow =
everyone to do "import girlfriend"
> girlfriends 1.0	4	Girl Friends
> car 1.0	2	Car, a depended simple module that allow =
everyone to do "import girlfriend"
> house 1.0	2	House, a depended simple module that allow =
everyone to do "import girlfriend"
> money 1.0	2	Money, a depended simple module that allow =
everyone to do "import girlfriend"
> workhard 1.0	2	Keep working hard, a depended simple module that =
allow everyone to do "import girlfriend"
