Comment(by ddrake):
Harald Schilly says that each subdirectory of packages has a "list" file;
for example, http://sagemath.org/packages/standard/list which simplifies
the script even more (presuming we can depend on the "list" file being
present). Something like this should be okay:
{{{
fn, hdrs = urllib.urlretrieve(url + '/list')
spkgs = open(fn).read().splitlines()
if spkgs[0].endswith('.spkg'):
return spkgs
}}}
If you get a 404, the first line will be some html and won't be a string
ending in ".spkg".
