Vinay Sajip was maintaining metadata as described here, I'm sure there are functions in distil to help fetch it. http://distil.readthedocs.org/en/latest/packaging.html#packaging-metadata. The most severe problem with this data is of course that it is not always correct because the environment he evaluated setup.py in to get the data may be different than yours.

The answer to this is technically yes, but realistically no.
If you build Wheels and you upload a Wheel *first* and you use twine to do so, then you will register the dependency information with PyPI and that will be available in the JSON API. If you upload a sdist first (or you type setup.py register) or you don’t use twine then they will not get registered.
Look for “requires_dist” in https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twine/json
If anyone has specific things they’d like to see in an API I urge you to open issues on the Warehouse issue tracker (https://github.com/pypa/warehouse) so that we can make sure we consider them for inclusion into Warehouse.

Is it possible to get the dependencies of a package without full download from pypi?
It would be kind of nice if you could get the package's metadata (e.g egg-info/entry_points.txt) out of its PyPI JSON blob:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/flufl.i18n/json
