Currently, distutils2.pypi.wrapper has a notion of a simple index, which has subdirectories for each project as pypi/simple does. This is good.  It should also support flat indexes ala a directory of files.

It is supposed to work already, but I'm not sure this is tested or complete. I'll have a closer look on this. +1 on the general idea.

Note that "ala a directory of files" wasn't meant to imply local files.
It could be a directory of files served via a HTTP (or sftp) server.

Oh, thanks for clarifying this. 

I'll have a look at what the blockers are on this. I'm wondering if 
"local files" can be considered a simple index or not. If not, we can 
add another PyPI reader, which works with local files.
