I just tried this idea, see the attached (ugly) script.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few limitations:

  - The script is currently not able to guess the <pkg>_SETUP_TYPE,
    i.e whether the package should be built with distutils or
    setuptools.

  - The Pypi informations seem to very limited. A number of packages
    don't even give the URL of their tarball, the licensing
    informations are incomplete, there is no reference to the file
    containing the license text, etc.

If anyone wants to pursue this experimentation, feel free to pick up
the script and improve it.

Best regards,

Thomas
