PyPI already supports PEP 345.
Does that mean that the XML-RPC interface .release_data(package_name, version) (see http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPiXmlRpc for details) already returns the full set of PEP 345 meta data ? I don't really see any problem with adding those new fields to the .search() API, but perhaps I'm missing something. The discussion Martin mentioned was about egg-infos files or directories. It doesn't seem to relate to searching for meta data, since - as you say - egg-info is meta data for egg files that is individual build files, not releases. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jan 26 2011) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
