As far as I am concerned, this upload fulfills your obligation to CPython and PSF with respect to sponsoring your GSOC project.  I wanted to get at least this loose end completed.

I have no further expectation of you.  I would *like* for you to make this pip installable by listing it on PyPI, so it can get some field testing. If you do, we can think about what to do from the pydev/cpython side. This was the meaning of Nick's last sentence above.

If you want to do this, I am sure you can get help, maybe from Nick, certainly from others.  I have never done a PyPI project, but I suppose I should learn how.

I do not remember *any* json output from pip.  Is this something new?  the beginning of an API?  Any coordination with pip people depends on them, of course.
