Can you please give an explicit example of what exact URL should return what exact data. I'm sure it can be done, but I'm not sure what precisely it is what you want. > Folks who mirrored that tree using rsync could then write tools to > rebuild the index without requiring any extension to the PyPI XML-RPC > API to support mirroring. No, they couldn't: a) there is no rsync server on pypi, and b) /simple does not exist on disk However, they *could* mirror it then with wget (although wget is known to have created quite some load on PyPI in the past).
