I see the web version as an additional fetch method.


I agree. The program could as: Which fetch method are going to use ?.

1. Web.

2. Python script.

3. Both.

If web is selected:

 Created file aptziplist.htm 

Click on http://..........  to upload the file to the server (this would open the default web browser, i.e. Mozilla).

I agree. Or with Debian, Google ....

Good work.

Other idea: I see some antivirus programs can scan the computer. What about a web scan page to detect installed programs. So, the user would not need to install a package in Debian, only web use.
