Sort JSON results

[aclark4life]

The XML-RPC API code in vanity seems overly complicated, yet is at least sorting the results correctly whereas the JSON implementation is not. Here's an overview of the process:

• vanity() calls normalize(package) then downloads_total(package)
• downloads_total calls release_data(package)

If JSON, release_data does this::

    if protocol:
        for package in packages:
            data = get_jsonparsed_data(PYPI_JSON % package)
            for release in data['releases']:
                urls = data['releases'][release]
                yield urls, data['info']
        return

If not, release_data calls package_releases which does this:

def package_releases(packages):
    """
    """
    mcall = xmlrpc.MultiCall(PYPI_XML)
    called_packages = deque()
    for package in packages:
        mcall.package_releases(package, True)
        called_packages.append(package)
        if len(called_packages) == 100:
            result = mcall()
            mcall = xmlrpc.MultiCall(PYPI_XML)
            for releases in result:
                yield called_packages.popleft(), releases
    result = mcall()
    for releases in result:
        yield called_packages.popleft(), releases

So perhaps the challenge is to deque the JSON results, but I failed in trying to get that to work as expected. The "real" issue is a convoluted data model and possibly differing results from different protocols (as far as I can tell.)
