[Python-Dev] PyPI index deprecation
Hi, as you probably already know, today the PyPI index page ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=index) was deprecated and ceased to be. Among other things it affected PyCharm IDE that relied on that page to enable packaging related features from the IDE. As a result users of PyCharm can no longer install/update PyPI packages from PyCharm. Here is an issue about that in our tracker: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-20081 Given that there are several hundred thouthands of PyCharm users in the world -- all 3 editions: Professional, Community, and Educational are affected -- this can lead to a storm of a negative feedback, when people will start to face the denial of the service. The deprecation of the index was totally unexpected for us and we weren't prepared for that. Maybe we missed some announcement. We will be very happy if the functionality of the index is restored at least for some short period of time: please, give as a couple of weeks. That will allow us to implement a workaround and provide the fix for the several latest major versions of PyChram. Does anybody know who is responsible for that decision and whom to connect about it? Please help.

Hi Donald, thanks for your immediate response! Let's move the discussion to the distutils-sig.
