Ah, that's awful :(
Even if they just provided something like a downloadable daily export of the list, that would be enough. I just hate to have to use a web browser for everything.
@RL_Dane @hugovk Maybe the simple index can help you out? https://docs.pypi.org/api/index-api/#list-all-projects
Man, I can't imagine snarfing an 29 MiB html file being easier on the server than a simple query, but this will do very nicely for my purposes, thank you. I wish it had a brief description as well, but it's totally better than nothing.
I'll definitely cache it for a week or so in my script so I'm not grabbing it each time I do a search.
Just in case anyone's curious, the script I use is here: https://codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/src/branch/main/searchall
It's the "-p" option.
Thanks so much!
If you find out about a variant that has short descriptions like:

Please let me know! Thanks!! <3
