pypi - package metdata

[Maciej Dziardziel]

I wasn't quiet happy with the way search on pypi works,
so I've got an idea of getting all package metadata from pypi
and do search locally. The only problem is that I can't figure out
where to get the data from. I tried to use bandersnatch to 
set up mirror, but all I've got was a mixture of egg, whl and exe files.
Egg and whl are useful maybe, but I guess its not exactly what I want.
Then I've found api:
https://pypi.python.org/simple/ provides list of packages,
and I can use json api to get metadata for each of them.
