Yes, though there is no need for any special API to access it - the metadata is in JSON files served statically. You just make a standard HTTP request, using the client library of your choice, to get a specific URL. The files are under http://www.red-dove.com/pypi/projects/ And you can just use a browser to browse the metadata from this starting point. > The most severe problem with this data is of course that it is not always > correct because > the environment he evaluated setup.py in to get the data may be different > than yours. Indeed, which is why declarative metadata is so important. Down with setup.py!
