[Distutils] does pypi or red-dove have a better firehose API than "download all the packages"?

It would be nice to have the PKG-INFO readily available on the /simple/

This contains the Requires header as well.

At the moment, PKG-INFO is only available on the PyPI edit pages
for packages you own, even though access is possible without
login:
