Awesome, thank you!  I'll add an appropriate version number when I get something releasable.

Right now, I've got a full set of data, in an SQLITE table (using xmlrpc MultiCall; boy did that speed things up!), and am working on writing that out to a pkl, and doing a quick API class for anyone to play around with the data.  

There sure is a lot of data when you get all releases.  Some have more than 50 releases (I know 'cause it blew up the MultiCall interface)

I won't be doing any more full pulls (unless something is horribly wrong with my stored data).  Hopefully, now that I'm a little more up to speed, I'll be able to contribute a little more intelligently to the PEP 381 discussions.
