I will note, that we can expose that information in PyPI for *wheels*, but not for sdists currently. It would be a lot more work though because it’d essentially require a whole new repository API and I doubt Pradyun wants to tackle that right now :) Keeping a future in mind where we can get a least some of that information without downloading would be good though, at least to keep in mind when structuring code. — Donald Stufft
