I'm also interested (for the same support in Visual Studio) though we're
unaffected by this change.
A batch API to get info for many packages would be great. Currently we scrape
simple and then post JSON queries for individual packages.
Cheers,
Steve

Subject: Re: [Distutils] PyPI index workaround
I'm sorry, I should have posted my commentary here, not in the separate thread.
We have some issues with suggested "/simple" endpoint. Despite the need to
scrap the web page, old endpoint allowed us to quickly find latest versions of
the packages hosted on PyPI. We did a single request on IDE startup and showed
outdated installed packages in the settings later. Index "/simple" however
contains only package names and links to the dedicated pages with their
artifacts (not for each of them, though). It means that now we have to make
tons of individual requests to find the latest published version for each
installed package. Isn't it going to load the service even worse?
So, yes, we're interested most in the latest version of a package.

Hi,
to have information about available packages, PyCharm IDE currently parses
the PyPI index page (https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=index).
As it is going to be deprecated soon, we are looking for a workaround.
What we need is, making one request, to get the name and the version of all
PyPI packages. Then we cache this information in the IDE
(https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/7e16c042a19767d5f548c84f88cc5edd5f9d1721/python/src/com/jetbrains/python/packaging/PyPIPackageUtil.java).
By name and version, do you mean the latest version?
