Web interface to available yum packages

Does anyone knows if there is a web script (php/perl/python) that shows me in a
nice formatted way the available packages to install (with the description,
dependencies, etc...)?.
I was trying to develop a really simple one using using php and reading the yum
cache files:

/var/cache/yum/core/primary.xml.gz
/var/cache/yum/core/primary.xml.gz.sqlite

I thought that using the sqlite one could give better performances but i ran
into this bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187681
(Basically the php sqlite module can't open the databases created by the last
version of sqlite).

Before staring to write a more complicated php scrpit to parse the XML file...
does anyone know if there is already a similar project going on?
Thanks in advance.
