"Send Code".

Sorry, but this stuff is hard. The people who're trying to work on it 
have to do this in their spare time - for instance, the current pypi 
system.

There's always lots of "why doesn't python have a CPAN" complaints, but 
very few people who're willing to help fix the problem.

Anthony, slightly cranky.
