simpypi
=======

Simple python package index

How simpypi works
-----------------

Currently ``simpypi`` only works on source distributions (that is,
packages made with ``python setup.py sdist``).

Running the Tests
-----------------

``tests-require.txt`` contains dependencies that should be installed
to run the tests.

TODO
----

While simpypi is pretty simple, just because it is only 100 lines of
code doesn't mean that it is the *right* 100 lines of code.  The
following issues could be addressed:

 * the temporary package should be dealt with entirely in memory,
   ideally.  Currently we write to a file and move it.

 * ``simpypi`` use ``pkginfo.sdist`` to read the data from a source
   distribution. Instead, the uploaded package should probably be
   unpacked and ``python setup.py sdist`` run and the resulting
   package put in the appropriate place.  This will allow archives
   without ``PKG-INFO``
   (e.g. http://hg.mozilla.org/build/talos/archive/tip.tar.gz )
   to be uploaded as well as at least partially correct for the fact
   that currently ``simpypi`` only works for uploaded source
   distributions.
