Also of interest to this group is that PyPI is transitioning to strongly
encourage hosting files at PyPI, and installer tools will default to not
installing files hosted elsewhere.

See PEP 438 “Transitioning to release-file hosting on PyPI”
<URL:http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0438/> for the details. As
Robart said, it's best not discussed here, but at the ‘distutils-sig’
forum <URL:http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/distutils-sig/>.
