Hi, I included a few details here: https://github.com/AllexVeldman/pyoci/blob/main/docs/design.... which I recognise does not contain much.

It's basically a single layer image with a multi-platform image index per tag(version) on top.

No smarts added, performance wise it's probably worse than running your own dedicated pypi index or any purpose-built system, my main goal is a private index for if you don't have access to one already.

That's fair. I'm used to thinking of OCI images as being a particular optimization (there's a reason we don't ship containers around ass rootfs tarballs), but for your usecase it may well be a premature/pointless optimization.
