Fetchcode A smart code downloader
summary
Fetchcode is a GSOC-built library that downloads by plain URL or standardized package-url and returns rich packagecode models (metadata, licenses, download URL). It currently supports HTTP, FTP and VCS hosts (git/mercurial/svn/bzr) and six registries (npm, PyPI, RubyGems, Cargo, GitHub, Bitbucket), and reuses vendored internals like vendored pip to drive downloads. Tests rely heavily on mocked network fixtures; the project is functional but not yet production-ready, with plans for Docker image fetching and a dependency resolver aiming at millions of downloads.
