The main thing that makes installs slow, are/were the links with “rel=’homepage’” or “rel=’download’” which caused pip/easy_install to crawl the link and look for more links there.

Up till now, providing a comprehensive doc with links in long description used to punish our users…
I did not find a “remove all” button, though, for the bunch of irrelevant links I have on my packages.
Thanks.

That’s all, no need to deal with the “file urls” at all to achieve the speed up for installers. See http://merlinux.eu/~hpk/pypi1.png for an example of what is needed.

Can you clarify a bit what option to use in PyPI? I looked through my packages, but couldn’t find which option. (I typically release packages using `./setup.py sdist register upload`)

One of the main mechanisms of double entendres is punning: github itself used to refer to “hardcore forking”, which seems to be the same implication of the “I’d like to fork THAT repo” remark.

There certainly was a lot in my twitter timeline about the incident.

I am not a native english speaker and am not sure about the meanings of the words in question.

The silence on this topic on Planet Python was so nice.

The words “big dongle” and “fork” are *puns*, or plays on words. Not misogynist, and hardly even jokes.
