Right, but you can instead get them directly from the PyPI API with

    $ python3 -c "from urllib.request import urlopen;
print(urlopen('https://pypi.org/pypi?:action=list_classifiers').read().decode())"

(curl/wget/etc will also work, but the advantage of the above version
is that it only requires the Python 3 standard library)

Cheers,
Nick.
