Doesn't that require *two* HTTP requests per package?  One to get a list
of package versions, and one to get the metadata for a specified version
number?

I studied http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPIXmlRpc as best as I could
before deciding I couldn't do any better than one HTTP request per
package (to get JSON data for the latest release) for
https://github.com/mgedmin/ztk-py3-status/blob/master/get_pypi_status.py
