[Zope3-dev] z3c.widget(.tiny) widget available to easy_install anywhere?

[David Pratt]

Hi Martin. Cheeseshop does this already. You can see how a nice overview 
page is constructed by putting readme.txt with readme.txt release notes 
in setup.py as restructured text. This is available on some zope 
packages but also the zif packages on pipy.

See zif.headincludes in the cheeseshop as an example of how this works 
for a nice web page explaining the package.

I am not sure why there are two resources for obtaining eggs myself, not 
sure if it is because pipy gets busy. Should the default be pipy or will 
this slow buildouts? Maybe all packages could be put there in any case 
even if primary dependency link for zope packages is download.zope.org. 
Maybe this just adds to the headache of releases to have more than a 
single location.

pipy already has the infrastructure for some proper searching and 
management for package maintainers - so not sure that the wheel needs to 
be invented. Actually, I thought the way this was all going to unfold 
was with the ZF website which I think is still being worked on. Many thanks.

Regards,
David
