After quick look I couln't find more than: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/catalog-sig/2005-June/000656.html
on PyPI XML-RPC support. That mail does not mention md5. From: '[Distutils] "Package Index API" draft' http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2006-July/006496.html > In addition, for compatibility with PyPI versions that do not use ``#md5=`` > fragment IDs, EasyInstall uses the following regular expression to match > PyPI's displayed MD5 info (broken onto two lines for readability):: > > <ahref="([^"#]+)">([^<]+)</a>\n\s+\(<ahref="[^?]+\?:action=show_md5 > &digest=([0-9a-f]{32})">md5</a>\) I *think* this suggest that for a full implementation you have no choice other than rummaging around in the html.
