Tarek Ziadé <ziade.ta...@gmail.com> added the comment: We want to add a PyPI client in Distutils2, and PyPI provides these information via XML-RPC.
PyPI could probably have a REST interface to grab these info as well, but this is another topic/project. On our side (distutils2), we want to provide a nice set of APIs to get some info PyPI has, and the fact that it's via XML-RPC is an implementation detail: if PyPI switch to something else, this should just impact the internals of the client, and not change our APIs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8190> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
