I don't know what PAUSE is, but I think there is what you want at http://pypi.python.org/packages/ > deprecate the XmlRpc interface and rely on simple index files - > such as http://www.cpan.org/modules/01modules.mtime.html - instead > (consequently rethink PEP 381). This is partially implemented for PyPM > at ActiveState and I'd be willing to contribute my time towards doing > this for PyPI (if at all there is an interest). I don't think I understand what it is that you want, so I don't know whether I'm interested.
