9 The heart of simpypi is ``simpypi.wsgi.SimPyPI``, a simple
10 `WSGI <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/>`_ web app that
11 accepts a uploaded
12 `python package <http://guide.python-distribute.org/introduction.html>`_
13 distribution and places it according to its name and version metadata
14 appropriate to the
15 `simple index protocol <http://guide.python-distribute.org/contributing.html#the-simple-index-protocol>`_ .

17 For security, ``SimPyPI`` returns straight
18 `HTTP 400 <http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html>`_ s
19 for invalid requests.

21 ``SimPyPI`` itself does not serve this directory. The directory
22 should be served by a fileserver that will generate directory indices
23 (as apprpropriate to
24 http://guide.python-distribute.org/contributing.html#the-simple-index-protocol
25 ) such as Apache or
26 `FileServer <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/FileServer>`_ .
