It was part of the Django Dash so the guys only had 2 days to build it, hence the scaling issues :D. AFAIK they are continuing work on it (add support for SVN/HG etc.) so stability should improve pretty fast.

Site should be working again. To get an idea of what it does, check out this page:

Sorry about the 500 issues. I'm working on fixing it at the moment. It's running on a 256MB slice with 2 other sites.

It only works for python packages currently. You can point it at any git repository that has a python package in it (watch the screencast).

Grading on what though?

Number of lines of code? Size of methods? Number of commits? How much you like them?

An about page with the grading methodology should probably be the next thing you publish. Also, in my mind the historical breakdown is irrelevant. I couldn't care less if the project sucked two weeks ago if they re-factored and are now "a" quality. Of course, that's if I knew what "A" quality meant. :-)

Other than that, not a bad effort for a dash project. It's a neat idea and something that could prove very useful.

Well I'd be more likely to use a piece of code if I see that people have constant commits that are raising the quality of the code base. At least this way you aren't just going by commits/releases, you get to see how they changed the quality of the product.

What does it do besides give 500 errors?

I'm getting a lot of 500 errors thrown here, but the project looks fairly interesting.

While the site is down, take a look at the demonstration video: http://vimeo.com/4936426?pg=embed&sec=

I'm a little disappointed that Pypants hasn't graded itself. Got something to hide, hmm?

What about code hosted on bitbucket / hg ?

Supporting svn and hg is in the works, just didn't have time.

Pypants is awesome!
