Like many of you, I got Donald's message about the changes to URLs for Cheeseshop packages. My question is about the three options; I think I want a middle ground, but I'm interested to see why you will discourage me from that <wink>.
IIUC, option #1 is fine for packages hosted on PyPI. But what if our packages are *also* hosted elsewhere, say for redundancy purposes, and that external location needs to be scraped? Specifically, say I have a download_url in my setup.py. I *want* that url to be essentially a wildcard or index page because I don't want to have to change setup.py every time I make a release (unless of course `setup.py sdist` did it for me). I also can't add this url to the "Additional File URLs" page for my package because again I'd have to change it every time I do a release. So the middle ground I think I want is: option #1 plus scraping from download_url, but only download_url. Am I a horrible person for wanting this? Is there a better way. Cheers, -Barry
