From: Joaquin Abian on 30 Mar 2010 13:50 Hi, PyPI is reaching the 10000 package figure (In the case of 3.x only about 140 packages and increasing very very slowly). Looking at available packages for 3.x I observed that some packages are listed several times. For example, lxml is listed 5 times. Are these repetitions included in the package count? If yes, just out of curiosity, somebody knows what the actual number of different packages in the PyPI reservoir is? Joaquin.

It's more of a directory than a repository. And some of the links are dead. I just tried "Dejavu", which only has a link to "projects.amor.org". That subdomain is dead. "amor.org" is some kind of religious organization. John Nagle |
