Well specifically he said JSON-RPC is better than XMLRPC which sounds like he was disagreeing with Warehouse implementing the XMLRPC interface. If that wasn’t the case then I misunderstood :) I don’t think an RPC interface is really needed at all for PyPI. > > But the old PyPI codebase already had a JSON API[1].

Richard has actually already implemented it! But in testing it just now I see it is failing on the server but isn’t locally for me so I’ll need to see why that is the case. > > Marius Gedminas > -- > The typewriter was invented by Hungarian immigrant Qwert Yuiop, who left his > "signature" on the keyboard. > -- "Kim" > _______________________________________________ > Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
