I haven't really understood how it gets the information about dependencies without downloading the packages... I'll give it another pass this weekend.
If I recall, it reads static dependency data held on the red-dove site and maintained by downloading and running egg-info on the packages as changes occur. I don't think it's a sustainable approach for pip at the moment (my understanding is that it was a proof of concept for what having static metadata on PyPI would gain us). Paul
