Not counting old versions, my current list of packages where an archive is hosted
on PyPI numbers a little under 18,000. While not bang up to date, it's unlikely
to be too far out. There are additional packages which are listed on PyPI but
not hosted there.

I added a file, archives.txt, to the Gist at

https://gist.github.com/3841557

This file has all the archives I processed - you can't see the text in the Gist
(it's too big, 17956 lines), but the raw file is available via a link.
