Thanks, I've just released a prototype:http://pypi.python.org/pypi/van.reposync However, as I did not want to actually execute code contained in the tarball, I did something like this: basedir = os.path.dirname(egg_info) metadata = PathMetadata(basedir, egg_info) dist_name = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(egg_info))[0] dist = Distribution(basedir, project_name=dist_name, metadata=metadata) Unfortunately I had to play some guessing games to find where the .egg-info directory was.
Actually, if all you want is the name and version, I suppose you could parse the PKG-INFO, which is always in a set location in an sdist tarball or zip.
