More like change to a more normal way to do an API PyPi JSON API
Can do a quick test with Requests.

import requests

url = 'https://pypi.org/pypi/loguru/json'
response = requests.get(url)
pack_json = response.json()

Test.

>>> pack_json['info']['home_page']
'https://github.com/Delgan/loguru'
>>> pack_json['info']['summary']
'Python logging made (stupidly) simple'

i upgraded pip and i still get that. pip still uses XMLRPC ?

They have shut down PyPI XMLRPC Search Disabled.
So this affect pip search,which still use XMLRPC probably will be removed or maybe updated.

There is pip-search that fix it and give colorful better output than pip search(which i never used and output didn't look good).
Using the cool Rich library.

Quote:a Python library for rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal.

right. i am aware of that. and pip still uses XMLRPC. maybe it should just run pip-search and tell you how to install it if it is not there. or just not use XMLRPC.

i just tried to install it. i got a dependency conflict. awscli wants colorama<=0.3.9 but pip-search wants colorama>=0.4.4. i guess they changed the API. no surprise with major version 0. i might set up a container for it.
