This is a bit confusing to me now. You're reacting as if anatoly suggested a new JSON interface to replace the legacy XML-RPC one. But the old PyPI codebase already had a JSON API[1]. I'm using it to keep track of Python 3 support status of about 800 packages maintained by the Zope Foundation: http://zope3.pov.lt/py3/ [1] https://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPIJSON I assume at some point Warehouse will add support for the JSON API and you'll issue a call for testing?
