[Distutils] Introducing PyPIContents

[Luis Alejandro Martínez Faneyth]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this list but I've been reading some threads in the archive.

Around february, an idea about indexing modules from PyPI packages was
brought up. I've been working on something similar for quite a while.

PyPIContents is an index of PyPI packages that lists its modules and
command line scripts in JSON format, like this:


[
...

    "1337": {
        "cmdline": [],
        "modules": [
            "1337",
            "1337.1337"
        ],
        "version": "1.0.0"
    },

...

]


You can check it out here:

And some use cases:

The actual index lives here, its around 60MB:

Is updated daily with the help of Travis:

Anyway, I hope is useful and I'll be around for any comments or questions.

Cheers!
