             Summary: Make it possible to get Python package metadata from an HTML web page in pip_download.py
                 Key: IMPALA-5181
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-5181
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Infrastructure
            Reporter: Taras Bobrovytsky


Currently pip_download.py allows retrieving Python package metadata only from a JSON file, for example https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyparsing/json. This is a problem because some PYPI mirrors might not implement this interface.

The data in the JSON file should also be accessible through a web interface - for example, https://pypi.python.org/simple/pyparsing/

pip_download.py should be able to parse the web page and extract the information we need.
