Hello and sorry if I am on the wrong mailing list.

I'm working on a dependency resolution resolver and wanted to implement
support for the new Metadata format. (As of now i'm parsing the setup.py
for dependency information and am dependent on a self build metadata
database of all PyPI packages)

Will there be build-in Metadata in the new PEP 426 format online on PyPI
for all packages? If yes, are there already specifications on how they
will be retreavable?

Thanks,

Alexander Schneider
