I think the APIs are all there already. Please take a look at PEP 381; this is the propotocol that PyPI mirrors should follow. Please don't consider crawling the site - there are much better ways to get the data. Regards, Martin P.S. Please don't take that as an offense: SourceForge is not on the record for having a reliable and performant infrastructure. So if a mirror on SF would look like the current sf.net and its download facility, I'm skeptical that users would want to use it. _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
