Oh indeed.

The former, I guess.
I guess the hash is SHA1, right?
Maybe we could make something like:
(define-syntax-rule (pypi-origin package sha1 sha256-string)
(origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append … sha1 …))
(sha256 (base32 sha256-string))))
and then use it like:
(package
(name "python-foo")
(source (pypi-origin "foo" "cabba9e" "somelongstring")))
?
