Unfortunately, there are quite a few limitations: - The script is currently not able to guess the _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.
