Module catalog updated

I've had a few people poke around the interface, and a couple of people have used the registration code. No direct comments yet though :(

Well, I've added a search form which handles basic filtering. Neatened up the display code too. I've got a TODO list, which may or may not be actioned depending on enthusiasm from the community. Things like manual entry, user identification, download url and full package submission. The last won't be implemented on the 'cat since I can't afford to rent hat sort of disk space.

I've posted to the distutils mailing list asking about Trove support too - it has come up a few times in the mailing list archives, generally with "hey, this'd be useful" and "yeah, that sounds cool" but no-one ever actually included the Trove attributes in the metadata set...

Ho hum. Perhaps I need to write a PEP or someting...

419 scam, the t-shirt

The Reg has a t-shirt on sale that features another of the classic 419 scam variants, the scam from beyond the grave.

ON THE 21ST OF APRIL 1999, MY CLIENT, HIS WIFE AND THEIR THREE CHILDREN WERE INVOLVED IN A GHOSTLY MOTOR ACCIDENT ALONG SAGAMU EXPRESS ROAD. MY CLIENT AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY UNFORTUNATELY LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE ACCIDENT.
