PyPI package stats / Python package registry lookup / pip package metadata / pypistats downloads / Python ecosystem metadata. Fetches the public PyPI JSON record for a Python package and returns summary, license, homepage, repository, documentation, issues URL, author, maintainer, classifiers, latest version, total version count, recent versions with publish timestamps and yanked flags, age in days, days_since_last_release. Also pulls last-day / last-week / last-month download counts from pypistats.org (Linehaul-derived). Lightweight companion to package-risk-pypi for cases where you just need the numbers, no risk synthesis. Public PyPI + pypistats APIs, no auth.
