Looks like a bug for me, maybe parallel to this thread you could open a bug on the bugs list so that it can be tracked. pypi import should be changed to be able to deliver the correct url and adjust if a part (like file.tar.gz) differs from the name it is known at in pypi. -- ng personal contact: http://krosos.sdf.org EDN: https://wiki.c3d2.de/EDN
