It's available through XML-RPC:

py> p=xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://pypi.python.org/pypi")
py> p.release_data('Distutils2','1.0a1')['project_url']
['Repository,http://hg.python.org/distutils2',
'Mailing-list,http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig/',
'Documentation,http://packages.python.org/Distutils2', 'Bug
tracker,http://bugs.python.org']

I wouldn't put it on the simple page, since it's not related to
installing the software.

HTH,
