The meaning of the "score" column shown when a search is done on the
pypi database is not clear.
Example:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=http&submit=search

To understand its meaning I had to find this document:
http://pycheesecake.org/#algorithm-for-computing-the-cheesecake-index

IMHO, it would be better putting a note somewhere in the pypi...
something which explains what the "score" value stands for.
