Hi,

I'm interested in writing a tool in python to create http://finkproject.org packages from pypi info to help keep fink packages better up to date with a reduced load on the packagers. e.g. for something that looks cool in pypi, being able to create a decent starter info file would be awesome. Or letting me create a template to fill in the latest version number and md5. I'm looking for sample code on how to pull the basic info for a package from pypi and it seems like yolk should be the place to do that. The command line for yolk is awesome, but scripting from within python would make templating super easy with .format.

Thanks
