Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment:

We could use “catalog” (see how the interest group for PyPI is named 
catalog-sig), but it sounds a bit abstract to me, and at the same time fails to 
convey that this module deals with finding things (in an index/catalog) and 
also download them (from PyPI or third-party sites).  Anyway I don’t think 
names can be perfect; just like distutils2.database may be ambiguous if one 
doesn’t know that it works with the database of installed projects, 
distutils2.index can be ambiguous if one doesn’t know that the repository of 
information (and sometimes downloads) is called an index.

+1 for distutils2.index
+0.3 for distutils2.repository (long, and mostly used with VCS these days)
±0 for distutils2.pypi
