Distribution Indexes

An Index is conceptually a set of Distribution objects, with some additional behavior for managing the set as a whole.

>>> from pkginfo import Distribution
>>> from pkginfo import Index
>>> index = Index()
>>> list(index)
[]
>>> d1 = Distribution()
>>> d1.name = 'foo'
>>> d1.version = '1.0'
>>> index.add(d1)
>>> list(index)
['foo-1.0']
>>> d2 = Distribution()
>>> d2.name = 'foo'
>>> d2.version = '1.1'
>>> index.add(d2)
>>> sorted(list(index))
['foo-1.0', 'foo-1.1']
