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.

The repo is https://github.com/zahlman/paper but it's not really usable and it's missing a bunch of local very unfinished stuff (and my README template definitely needs fixing). More of a "watch this space" but I would really like to push out a Show HN for the first chunk of functionality soon.
