yolk 0.4.1 has been released. This is mainly a bugfix release.

Changes:

* Added HTTP proxy support for XML-RPC
* -f is now case-insensitive
* -S does not return the entire PyPI index if a package doesn't exist (this was fixed upstream in PyPI)
* Check for integer with -L

What is yolk?
=============

yolk is a command-line client and library for querying installed Python packages on your system and packages in The Python Package Index (PyPI).

http://tools.assembla.com/yolk

Features:

* List installed Python packages (all, active, non-active, develpment mode)
* Show which installed packages have updates available on PyPI
* Show all metadata for a package or individual fields, installed or via PyPI
* Show just URLs for source, egg or repository (SVN etc.)
* Show setuptools entrypoints for a module
* All commands available through PyPI's XML-RPC interface

yolk uses a setuptools-based plugin system.

Third-party plugins
===================

* yolk-portage - Shows which packages were installed via Gentoo Linux's package manager and which were installed directly via setuptools/distutils.

Applications based on yolklib
=============================

* g-pypi - Creates ebuilds for Gentoo Linux by querying PyPI
* qyolk - GUI for yolk in QT

I tried to download yolk using PyPi Browser and received a 4KB tarball
with only readme files and a setup.py, and Ark stated the archive was
"crap", formatwise. My visit to yolk's web didn't yield a link for
downloading.
