Yes, that's the general idea.  You can also query for aggregate counts by
Python version number.  The server is currently not being run, and like I
mentioned in my previous note, I'd probably require some further/different
compression tricks to decrease the size of the payload.  With DXPAIR you get
a 256-element list of lists, each of length 257.  That gets rather large
when serialized as XML-RPC.
