That's not necessary: the XML-RPC API lets you query those URLs
directly.  They're part of the metadata standard, after all...  which
means you can *also* access them by downloading the DOAP records,
browsing the PyPI pages directly, etc.

There are plenty of ways to get that data, no point adding another one.
