I believe such tests should be run against a mocked PyPI so the test
has complete control over responses and error cases.
I believe there's general agreement that a dev.pypi.python.org is a
good idea. We just need to figure out the details. I'll take the
technical discussion offline with Martin unless there's any
objections? No, I'm not writing a PEP for it (unless someone from the
PSF Infrastructure Committee requires it).
