User ratings and comments are the future for "app store" style sites such as PyPI Interestingly, I consider sites like PyPI as developer resources rather than the more end-user-centric "App Store" sites. While I don't consider it bad to provide support for commenting and rating, I find it much less valuable than for end-user-centric sites. But then, some may find me a bit retro. :-/

When it comes to comments and recommendations for selecting software packages, developers are the end users :)

Cheers, Nick.
