I see your Python and raise with:

$ time curl -s 
"http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/pkgdb/rest/catalogs/unstable/sparc/SunOS5.10/pkgnames-and-paths-by-basename?basename=bash" 
| python -mjson.tool
{
     "/opt/csw/bin": [
         "CSWbash"
     ],
     "/opt/csw/share/doc": [
         "CSWbash"
     ],
     "/opt/csw/share/quilt/compat": [
         "CSWquilt"
     ],
     "/usr/bin": [
         "SUNWbash"
     ]
}
