Quoting the manual page of uscan.
(  uscan is the utility reads debian/watch for watching. )


   PyPI
       For PyPI based projects, pypi.debian.net runs a redirector
       which allows a simpler form of URL. The format below will
       automatically be rewritten to use the redirector with the watch
       file:

         version=4
         https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/<initial>/<project>/ \
             <tar-name>-(.+)\.tar\.gz debian uupdate

       For cfn-sphere, set the watch file as:

         version=4
         https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/c/cfn-sphere/ \
             cfn-sphere-([\d\.]+).tar.gz debian uupdate

       Please note, you can still use normal functionalities of uscan
       to set up a watch file for this site without using the
       redirector.

         version=4
         opts="pgpmode=none" \
             https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cfn-sphere/ \
             https://pypi.python.org/packages/.*/.*/.*/\
             cfn-sphere-([\d\.]+).tar.gz#.* debian uupdate

Looking forward to something like "OK, that works"
