Evidence-backed facts
- Python Package Index documents Python project metadata, releases, files, hashes, vulnerabilities, and selected index information. informative
- Public reads are separate from authenticated publication; access does not grant project ownership, release upload, signing, moderation, or Python Packaging Authority. informative
- Clients must bind project name, optional version, normalized identifier, response fields, file URL, hash, yanked state, and cache behavior. informative
- Package metadata is publisher-supplied and mutable, and published files can be yanked or compromised; API presence does not prove safety, maintenance, or suitability. informative
