I don't know how useful it would be, though. Obviously, only root could use it (or root inside a container). And our selection of Python modules is far from complete. It's not Debian's intent to provide a mirror of PyPI within Debian. Generally speaking, we package the modules that we find useful for supporting building and shipping other python modules and applications. We'll only have a single version of each package. And they're usually not the versions developers want, because in any stable release they're probably out of date. SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
