Hello all, I work at IBM and was discussing with a fellow developer how to access packages from the cheeseshop that might be useful for a project he is working on. He found that he could not connect to the cheeseshop (chesseshop.python.org) from inside IBM but could connect from home. I confirmed that this was true for me as well and tried other sites within python.org such as wiki.python.org and www.python.org/pypi and found that while requests get sent from inside IBM they never get a reply from the server.
The main site www.python.org seems to work fine www.python.org [82.94.237.218] but requests going to ximinez.python.org [82.94.237.219] do not get replies. IBM internal network security confirms that they are not blocking access to these sites, so we are guessing that the websites themselves are choosing not to respond, perhaps thinking that the volume of traffic from the ibm.com domain is spam or DOS attack. Can someone responsible for maintaining the website please check what is happening and help me (and the rest of the IBM community) get back into the python website ? Thanks for your attention and if there is anything that we (IBM) needs to do to help resolve this issue please let me know. Thanks, Scott -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
