The PyCon organizers are planning a Python Language Summit to be held in Chicago just before the conference, on Thursday March 26 2009. (This is the second day of tutorials, and the day before PyCon officially starts.) [cut]

Package distribution & installation. * setting up an organized network of mirrors ? la CPAN * adding a commenting system on PyPI * think about a reference implementation for a PyPI client in the stdlib (XML-RPC client+upload and register) * improvments on packaging matters - this includes distutils but also setuptools.

Hello,

I'd like to volunteer for that part given the fact that I am currently working on the patches for the mirroring thing in a branch of PyPI.

The work is described here : http://wiki.python.org/moin/PEP%20374 It changed a bit and I need to update it, but you get the idea there.

I also have some work going on for distutils.

You have a summary of the work going on in my blog http://tarekziade.wordpress.com/2008/11/26/python-package-distribution-my-current-work/

Regards Tarek
