I think Marcel has a point... Much can be done and should be done to improve packaging and applications for python.
That's why I for one am working on the python package manager project. On sourceforge. It uses the pypi interface to search. Actually we haven't made a release yet. Still many.. many things to fix. >> Using my iPhone I suddenly realize how easy it is to find applications >> in Apple's AppStore.

Just a GUI for package management that lets you seperate what is available for the python platform that you are running on. Install, deinstall, and get package information. https://sourceforge.net/projects/pythonpkgmgr/ We only have source at the moment. Only for windows... and only for python 2.5. Pretty limited... but we'll get there. David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
