I'm no fan of Python either, but there is a fairly simple JSON API to
the package database.  eg:

wget -O ocaml.json 'https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/ocaml?tg_format=json'

which gave me a huge JSON-format file which did contain my FAS
username in the field packageListings[0].people[0].username, see:
