Hi everyone I suspect this has come up before, but google and group searches for "python package index query" or "pypi query" and the like haven't turned anything up.
I want to monitor the versions of the list of packages I like having around, and I expect that the python package index might be a good place to do this. Typically, such packages would include, say, Pyrex and PyParsing, for example. So: I would like to query the package index with a short name (perhaps wildcarded), and retrieve either the full name (from which to strip the ver.) or version number, and compare it with what I have on disk. At this stage, just reporting the differences is fine. I could do these steps myself with normal http access and screen-scraping, but is there already such a system/script somewhere? Alternatively, how do you all keep versions of python addons up-to-date? Manually? regards Caleb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
