Question

Can I use this library to just parse responses (without making requests in the library)?

I'm working on a simplistic async pypi client that needs to use the simple/legacy api. If I could perform the requests in my async code and pass the responses for parsing by pypi-simple I could use this library instead of implementing my own solution. Is this possible/supported?

Looks like I should be able to call this directly, right? https://github.com/jwodder/pypi-simple/blob/master/pypi_simple.py#L180

Yes, parse_project_page() can be called directly to parse a project page's HTML. I would have made that function public (i.e., mentioned it in the README), but I didn't think anyone was interested in it!
