All keys are required. None/NULL is translated to ''. Open issues: will emails be obscured? Is keywords turned into a list? |
The spec may include any of the keywords described in the above list (except 'stable_version' and 'classifiers'), for example: {'description': 'spam'} will search description fields. Within the spec, a field's value can be a string or a list of strings (the values within the list are combined with an OR), for example: {'name': ['foo', 'bar']}. |
Line 61: | Line 55: |
search(field_specifiers, [operator='and']): field_specifiers is a dictionary of {fieldname: searchvalue}. Returns a list like [(name, version)] of matching non-hidden records. The search values are case-insensitive and match any substring. The second argument indicates if all the field specifiers are ANDed or ORed together. The value defaults to 'and' and is case-insensitive. |
Arguments for different fields are combined using either "and" (the default) or "or". Example: search({'name': 'foo', 'description': 'bar'}, 'or'). The results are returned as a list of dicts {'name': package name, 'version': package release version, 'summary': package release summary} '''changelog(since)''' Retrieve a list of four-tuples (name, version, timestamp, action) since the given timestamp.

PyPI's XML-RPC methods
Example usage:
>>> import xmlrpclib >>> server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://pypi.python.org/pypi') >>> server.package_releases('roundup') ['1.1.2'] >>> server.package_urls('roundup', '1.1.2') [{'has_sig': True, 'comment_text': '', 'python_version': 'source', 'url': 'http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/r/roundup/roundup-1.1.2.tar.gz', 'md5_digest': '7c395da56412e263d7600fa7f0afa2e5', 'downloads': 2989, 'filename': 'roundup-1.1.2.tar.gz', 'packagetype': 'sdist', 'size': 876455}, {'has_sig': True, 'comment_text': '', 'python_version': 'any', 'url': 'http://pypi.python.org/packages/any/r/roundup/roundup-1.1.2.win32.exe', 'md5_digest': '983d565b0b87f83f1b6460e54554a845', 'downloads': 2020, 'filename': 'roundup-1.1.2.win32.exe', 'packagetype': 'bdist_wininst', 'size': 614270}]
list_packages()

- version
- stable_version
- author
- author_email
- maintainer
- maintainer_email
- home_page
- license
- summary
- description

search(spec[, operator])
- Search the package database using the indicated search spec.
- The spec may include any of the keywords described in the above list (except 'stable_version' and 'classifiers'), for example: {'description': 'spam'} will search description fields. Within the spec, a field's value can be a string or a list of strings (the values within the list are combined with an OR), for example: {'name': ['foo', 'bar']}. Arguments for different fields are combined using either "and" (the default) or "or". Example: search({'name': 'foo', 'description': 'bar'}, 'or'). The results are returned as a list of dicts {'name': package name, 'version': package release version, 'summary': package release summary}
changelog(since)
- Retrieve a list of four-tuples (name, version, timestamp, action) since the given timestamp. All timestamps are UTC values. The argument is a UTC integer seconds since the epoch.
