http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&asdf=405 - ClientForm-0.1.17 - ClientForm-0.2.1b ... - EmPy_3.1 - EmPy_3.1.1 - EmPy_3.2 - EmPy_3.3 ... - FauxIdent-1.1 - FauxIdent-1.2 - FauxIdent-1.2.1 ... Well, it is better than I remember it being a while (year?) ago, my recollection is that many packages had many, many old versions listed but now I usualy see only a couple versions. Hmm, so two versions means one is a development version, and the other is a stable version? I did not know that, and did not see it documented on the site. I would say documenting that would be an interface improvement. I still think it would be better to have just a package name (with current version) listed in the index page(s), and have alternate versions (old, alpha testing, etc) listed on the package's description page. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
