Please update PYPI #101

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
The current version of python-twitter on PYPI is 0.5 which was released in
2007 (currently over 2 years old). Certain methods don't seem to work anymore.

Please update PYPI with the latest stable version.

This is problematic: since the only link available on the googlecode page is 
the latest one, each time you release a new version you break all the automatic 
build systems depending on the previous version.

For instance I'm using a buildout which was depending on python-twitter 0.6. 
Setuptool/Distribute was able to retrieve the 0.6 tar.gz because it was able to 
parse the googlecode page a find a link to the 0.6 package. Since 0.8.1, the 
only link available is 0.8.1 and my buildout is broken.

There a several solutions :

* publish all your new versions on PyPI
* if you don't want to bother doing this, release just a new version with the 
HomePage metadata containing a link to a page with all available versions : the 
current link is http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/ , you should add a 
link to http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/downloads/list

Thanks,
Christophe

Christophe,

All past versions are listed on the downloads page at: 
http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/downloads/list

Previous versions will be maintained on pypi so that buildout and other systems 
like pip will continue to work should they depend on older versions.

I have updated PyPI to have the most recent distribution and am now able to 
update it as I push new distributions.
