Look at any typical sourceforge project page; it lists a number of release
files

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5470

We'd just put our .zip and .tar.gz files there in the same fashion.

It can't be that hard for the file list. I don't see Python-1.5 anywhere
there; they must've killed it.

OK, see https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586

It is not only trivial to delete the release, you can decide to hide it or
make it active without deleting. See

https://sourceforge.net/project/admin/editreleases.php?package_id=8041&relea
se_id=77358&group_id=7586

Once you're logged in to SF.
