I would like to write a script to automatically register release URLs for PyPI packages.
Is the REST API documented somewhere, or is the implementation the spec ? ;-)
And related to this:
Will there be an option to tell PyPI's CDN to cache the release URL's contents ?
I think you are perhaps confused, the use of external URLs on PyPI is formally deprecated. The way you inform the PyPI and the CDN network about your package is you upload it to PyPI. pip 1.4 effectively disables "unsafe" external URLs, and all external URLs will follow soon.
Someone reminded me that I'm only partially correct, the external URL stuffs will continue to be supported, but only as a convenience during package registration/upload. From the PoV of clients (and the CDN) everything will be local. --Noah
