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.

cloud-pypi@lists.egenix.com (private to the project team)
Project Server
For development, we are using an Amazon EC2 VM:
- cloud-pypi.getpython.org
Note that the development server may be stopped at times, if not currently used.
The server has a snapshot of the PyPI installation as-of 2011-01-15.
