It's worse than that. All the urls in the pypi /simple indexes have #md5=blah suffixes on the urls, so a filenamemangle opt will be required in d/watch. Unfortunately, I've not been able to get either the one described here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=776267#10 or another one that came up in #debian-python to work. This will be painful to fix across all our packages. uscan(1) says: # The filename is found by taking the last component of the URL and # removing everything after any '?'. If this would not make a usable # filename, use filenamemangle. For example, Probably the least horrible solution would be for uscan to also remove everything after a trailing '#' (i.e. fragment). Apparently the /simple index cannot just switch # to ? because that would "break every copy of pip and easy_install". I wonder if we can get a uscan fix for this into Jessie. Cheers, -Barry
