Or am the only one that accidently released a version that had serious bugs? Nope :-) I think removing such releases after an announcement and some time to have people upgrade their "pins" is a good way to send out wake-up calls to those who continue using the package in their buildouts or other setups. Removing the packages just because you can, is not a good idea, of course. I guess a warning to educate package owners might help prevent this. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Feb 28 2013) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
