Excellent!

I can observe two differences with the current PyPI code:

First, the Content-Type of the response differs:

  $ curl -sI https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/json | grep Content-Type
  Content-Type: application/json; charset="UTF-8"

  $ curl -sI https://pypi-preview.a.ssl.fastly.net/pypi/setuptools/json | grep Content-Type
  Content-Type: application/json

(I don't know which is correct, or whether the difference actually
matters.)

Second, the current PyPI codebase returns absolute URLs, while Warehouse
returns paths relative to the site root:

  $ curl -s https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/json | grep '"url":'
  "url": "https://pypi.python.org/packages/3.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-2.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl", 
  "url": "https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-2.2.tar.gz", 

  $ curl -s https://pypi-preview.a.ssl.fastly.net/pypi/setuptools/json | python -m json.tool | grep '"url":'
  "url": "/packages/3.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-2.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl"
  "url": "/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-2.2.tar.gz"

I can adapt my script to cope.
