Project dead? #120

Open guettli opened 11 years ago

No updates since two years. The project looks dead. Please leave a note in the important places (github, pypi).

Well yes it's dead. Sorry for not announcing it properly. I'll see about this as soon as possible.

I've added a warning notice in the README and on PyPI. Do you think it is sufficient? Sorry for not thinking about this earlier.

Pip now has now got Wheel support, PyPI has now PEP 438: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0438/

which improves a lot the speed. Furthermore Pip is now widely supported and accepted, and it is almost perfect for all standard situations[1].

Finally, since I don't think there is the need for another package manager, I am working on other projects right now, like radon: https://github.com/rubik/radon

And I don't have time to maintain both. I hope this is enough info :)

[1]: To be honest, Pip really would need a refactor. In some points the code is just terrible and too complex. Overall, it is difficult to understand and very entangled!
