Note that package_index is not API-friendly. A few violations I can
think of: 1) it prints warning messages to stderr without programmer
control, 2) throws random network exceptions that should be handled in a
custom exception (see the issues I reported in distribute tracker) 3) no
ability to control URL types (eg: I want to fetch only
tarballs/zipfiles, not svn/hg/etc..) and so on.

+1

Also missing:
4) No easy way to change priorities for filetypes (eggs are always
preferred) 5) No easy way to fetch other filetypes (eg. .msi or
installer-exe, esp. important on Windows) 6) No easy way to change the
URL-Scanner (if sourceforge changes URLs again)

When distribute evolves, I may contribute some code / patches for this.

Make sure you add an issue for this in the bug tracker, so it won't be forgotten by the time the code gets an overhaul.
