Speaking of which, why is it that
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi>http://pypi.python.org/pypi and
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/>http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ (note the
ending slash) return different contents
(the latter being very voluminous)? I always mistake one for the other when
entering the URL directly.
easy_install replied on the behavior of /pypi/ (it uses the long
list to do case-insensitive searches). Someone changed it,
easy_install broke, and a compromise was to keep /pypi/ the way it
was (but not /pypi).
Probably this could be removed, as the /simple/ index is already
case-insensitive, so easy_install shouldn't have to hit /pypi/ at all.
This was changed over a year ago; easy_install *does* use /simple by
default. I would guess enough people are upgraded by now that PyPI
need no longer continue to support it.
