Subject: [PATCH] import: Add PyPI importer.
Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2014 17:15:25 -0400	[thread overview]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 264 bytes --]

Happy first day of the Guix hackathon, everyone!

I spent my day working on generalizing the 'guix import' UI to allow for
using a PyPI importer in addition to the pre-existing Nix importer.
It's now at the point where I stop coding and open it up for review. :)
