The first thing I look at when examining a module is how often it is
updated. Unfortunately, the entries there dont show this. Eg: http://www.python.org/pypi/PySimpleXML/1.0
Second, it seems that tagging is more popular than the hierarchical
browsing method currently offered by Cheese Shop. Are there efforts
underway to support a tagging interface for the cheeseshop? 2 1466

I believe hierarchies are easier when there's a lot of information. You go
browsing by topic.
If there are only tags available, you'd have to look for hundreds of tags to
see if none of the possible names for the "thing" has been used ("database",
"db", "relational ", "orm", "mapper", etc.).
Ammending the current hierarchic structure with an alternate tag interface
would be interesting, though. But not making it the main interface or the
only one.
Tags are cool when they are few. They are a nightmare when there are hundreds
or thousands of them to search for something.

Jorge presents a perfect example of why I've always resisted adding
arbitrary keywords as meta-data to the Cheese Shop set.
If you want arbitrary searches like this (say you think that the database
module you want to find has "tagged" itself with "db"), use the search box.
It'll search names and descriptions. And then when you don't find a match,
you can try "database" and then "relational " and then ... or you could use
the browse interface to search using the one valid term, "Topic ::
Database"
This meta-data isn't about enabling package maintainer artistic creativity
in describing packages, it's about making packages discoverable for end
users.

I've been thinking (and blogging) about python evangelism since PyCon,
as a result of which I created a squidoo lens:

Imagine my surprise at discovering that this has gone up in rank (by
number of views) from # 442,000 or so to #153! Clearly there's some
mileage in marketing Python, and I'd like to keep the buzz going if it
means more people will adopt the language.

So I wrote PyPI back a couple of years ago. It was just a simple cgi script
and some distutils code. I needed to call it *something* and "Python
Package Index" seemed like a fairly obvious name. Unfortunately, it's also
quite a mouthful. A friend suggested "PyPI" as a good shorter name. He also
indicated that it should be pronounced "Pippy" but that never really caught
on (just a little too cutesy for most people, I suppose).

Is there a package rating system for the Cheese Shop, like how Perl
has cpanratings (http://cpanratings.perl.org/)?
Do you think it would be useful?
I see that we already have Cheesecake (http://pycheesecake.org/) for
rating a package's kwalitee (like Perl's CPANTS). But browsing the
Cheese Shop, I don't see a way to view or sort by Cheesecake rating...
How can I see the kwalitee ratings of the packages at the Cheese Shop?

I want to write my own mp3 tagging software. Therefore I need to be

where iTunes (or other software) gets there album artwork, I will try
to do the same.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
