Hah. Yes sounds like we are very much on the same page here. Python stdlib could really use a simple generic email/http header parser.

I’m thinking about 3rd party installers like poetry, pip-tools, pdm, etc, where your installer needs python+dependencies installed before it can start installing.

Do you have anything public yet? I’m totally curious. I started doing this for flake8 and pip back in 2021/2022, but when ruff+uv came along I figured it wasn’t worth my time any more.
