Cloud PyPI - Mirroring PyPI in the cloud

Idea

We are setting up a PyPI mirror of the static content of PyPI in Amazon CloudFront.

Proposal

• CloudPyPI/Proposal

The proposal was accepted by the PSF in their December 2010 board meeting.

Funding was limited to an initial USD 500 for Amazon costs to see whether the project would succeed.

Resources

• Amazon AWS Getting Started Guide

• Developer Intro to the PyPI code

• PyPI RPC interface (which we likely won't use, but gives an idea of how the meta data is stored)

• PyPI Code

Example CDN

We've setup an example CDN which only provides caching services to the PyPI server and uses the pypi.python.org server as origin:
