Yes, I'm currently writing a PEP proposition, which is by now available in here: https://bitbucket.org/ametaireau/pypioncouch/src/79681bd0caa3/pep.rst (but is not finished yet). You can also see a blog post I've made about that on http://blog.notmyidea.org/pypi-on-couchdb.html Also, a CouchDB instance with all the data is available at http://couchdb.notmyidea.org/pypi/ Bear in mind this *is* a work in progress. It should address the search problems you're talking about, and provide a RESTful API to query. Next step is to work on a distutils2 client to query the couchdb instance. > In any case we should focus on having these tools built on the > standard metadata sets. +1. eggs are unfortunately a hell to deal with when it comes to metadata: we are forced to downlad the distributions and extract the metadata using the setuptools egg_info command. Cheers, Alex PS: please, use my @notmyidea.org adress for python related stuff. _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
