The problem is (apparently) an invalid classifier. Your package version
was not registered, so file upload tried to transparently register it,
which then choked as it couldn't find one of the classifiers in the
database. I added a validation step now before the actual package
registration, so you should get a more meaningful error message now.

Pypi silliness when finding dev versions

It'd be really great if I didn't have to go back through 20-some  
descriptions that Cheeseshop has on hand for Pylons, just to remove  
the dead Pylons-dev egg link, which is still found regardless of the  
latest description here:
http://pypi.python.org/simple/Pylons/

It took me about 20-some minutes to go through all the Routes releases  
on cheeseshop and fix the link for Routes-dev to work properly, am I  
looking at something even worse, or is there a faster way to get this  
page fixed so that Pylons-dev only is linked in once (to the latest  
destination in the latest release).

Cheers,
Ben

Unfortunately, I cannot understand your message: What is the Pylons-dev
egg link, why is it dead, and why do you think you have to go back
20-some descriptions (which ones)?

I can only see a single link that might be the Pylons-dev egg link,
namely

https://www.knowledgetap.com/hg/pylons-dev/archive/tip.tar.gz#egg=Pylons-dev

and it doesn't appear to be dead, and I don't see 20 different releases
of Pylons, only 8 (0.9.2, 0.9.3, 0.9.4, 0.9.4.1, 0.9.5, 0.9.6, 0.9.6.1,
0.9.6.2).

Also, why do you want to remove a link from the pages?

Martin

Yes, this is because the co-founder of the project has already gone  
through all of the releases, and removed all the other #egg=Pylons-dev  
links from them.

Here is one that I have yet to go back through and remove the old  
#egg=Pylons-dev links from:
http://pypi.python.org/simple/Beaker/

At the bottom, you can see multiple links for it. When easy_install  
runs, it usually goes for the first link (which is from an old package  
description), not the one from the latest package.

> Also, why do you want to remove a link from the pages?

Because there is only one development version, and the repo changed  
from where it was in the past. So the old links are totally dead and  
shouldn't be looked at. #egg=Beaker-dev should be a unique name, and  
there shouldn't be multiple links for it in the page there which is  
what easy_install looks at when you do:
easy_install -U Beaker==dev

Ben

The simple API shows all links from all packages, not just from the
latest package.

In this case, it would help if PyPI would hide all URLs belonging to
hidden releases.

Would that be desirable?

Phillip?

Nope.  Say a project uses the simple API in their setuptools find-links
setting with version numbers specified in their setup.py (or
buildout.cfg).  If the download URL is hidden when a new release is
made, it would mean that setuptools won't be able to find the older
version when it needs to download it.

This is (or was) the behavior of the "non-simple" pages, and it meant
that maintainers would have to unhide older versions after uploading a
newer one so other people who depend on older versions could continue to
download them.

As Benji states, that's not desirable. What should happen, is that the  
name after an #egg= link should be unique, and if there's duplicates,  
only the most recent one is put in the Simple page.

Ben

It is still.

Correct.

So if that is not desirable, then yes, you have to go through all old
releases if you want a link to disappear from the list of URLs available
for the package.

Alternatively, you can delete all old releases, rather than just hiding
them, which also makes the links go away (along with any files that you
may have uploaded).
