Um...

> The Python Packaging Authority (PyPA), along with the Python community, is working on an endpoint to provide the dependency information.

So what is the `requires_dist` key in e.g. https://pypi.org/pypi/Django/3.2/json ?

(My experimental dependency locking tool Pipimi (https://github.com/akx/pipimi/blob/f055b0c0/pipimi.py#L43-L5...) uses that endpoint.)

That endpoint is not guaranteed to be correct. There's a Github thread [1] with more background info, if you're interested.
