Also note that the simple API only includes a single hash for each file, and may use md5 hashes instead of sha256 (technically it may use any of the hash algorithms guaranteed by hashlib, but I've only seen those two). The JSON API will give you *all* the hashes warehouse has for the file, which may be more useful.

Most likely (someone more familiar with Warehouse could answer this) Warehouse will select sha256 whenever it is available, so the simple API may be just as good for you. But it's something to consider.

Just a quick note, the simple API is required for every index server
to support, whereas the JSON API is not (yet?) standardised and may
not be supported anywhere other than PyPI (I don't know about devpi,
for example). This may not matter for your use case, but is useful to
know more generally.
