I just want to clarify that need: I want to be able to search PyPI for all
packages dependent on some package 'x'. I would think that easy_install/pip
probably need the reverse: to find all dependencies of some package 'x'.

It boils down to finding packages with similar attributes, and hopefully it
shouldn't matter what that attribute is ('dependent on x', 'target python
version y', etc). This alone doesn't seem like it should be particularly
difficult, though I could see an implementation of a search for stacked
attributes ('depends on x *and* target python version y *and*...) really
becoming a performance/infrastructure-related issue (but I don't know
anything about the current infrastructure).
