ActiveState announces the PyPM Index

Hi,

I'd like to announce the availability of PyPM Index - frontend to 
browse/search Python packages available in the PyPM repository:

   http://code.activestate.com/pypm/

The site also has some nifty features that, I think, may be of use to 
package authors:

   1. Author pages
   2. Build RSS notification (released with a setup.py bug?)
   3. Dependency information

For more details, see this blog post:

Uh, so I have to sign up for at least the $999 per server/year to get the database modules, like psycopg2(!!).

Not sure who they are targeting. Why have some categories open/free, but not all?
Are they trying to lure people in to paying for the Business-edition? I have yet to try the tool my self, but maybe it makes life so much easy people might consider it.

They are basically offering a service similar to RHEL for Python. That is, you get a support contract with the binaries.

Perhaps the free packages are there as bait for the paid product?

Also worth checking out is the similarly-named Python Package Index:
