When it comes to the interface, it puzzles me why it cannot have a clear, interactive interface like e.g. https://packagecontrol.io/ https://packagecontrol.io/

When it comes to the interface, it puzzles me why it cannot have a clear, interactive interface like e.g. https://packagecontrol.io/ https://packagecontrol.io/ For that reason, I almost never directly in https://pypi.python.org https://pypi.python.org.

I fail to see what's so interactive on that page. Personally, the search box is all the interaction I need.

  Search box with search as you type. And listing popularity (and preferably, last update).

    This is in development, they'll likely still be adding features after the first release. Maybe you should add issues for some feature requests.

      I added a comment here: https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/991 https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/991 (For some reason there is vocal opposition to showing any popularity stats, effectively making good packages drowning in the see of not-even-updated ones.)

For what it's worth, the warehouse (https://pypi.io/ https://pypi.io/) is the successor to the current PyPI that Donald is currently working on. Is the UI here closer to something you'd like? Edit: It's not Django, my mistake. Also, if there are any interested Django developers around, I'm sure they'd love to have some help finishing the project off.

  What makes you say it's django? Pretty sure I always heard pyramid (the requirements.txt seem to confirm this). Or am I misunderstanding you?

    Oh you're right. At least it's not Django. I thought I remembered looking at it a few weeks ago and seeing it was Django.

  Not quite (yet?). - no popularity markers (downloads, stars on GitHub or both) - no "search as you type" - way too sparse (not a good feature for searching) I gave link to a a search with I consider "the best" (for Sublime Text Package Manager). Not much of a Django dev myself (I'm using Python mostly for data science).

The next generation of the package index has been in development for some time now. Have a look at: https://pypi.io/ https://pypi.io/ https://github.com/pypa/warehouse https://github.com/pypa/warehouse https://warehouse.readthedocs.io/ https://warehouse.readthedocs.io/
