Switch PyPI sources to use files.pythonhosted.org - #663
Merged
Conversation
Fetch PyPI sources via `files.pythonhosted.org` directly rather than `pypi.org`. This is the canonical location per upstream documentation: https://docs.pypi.org/api/#predictable-urls It saves a single unnecessary redirect and reduces load off `pypi.org`, though it seems that currently both hostnames are served off the same server. It also follows suit with what other distributions are doing, e.g. Arch Linux and Gentoo: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines#Source https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/eclass/pypi.eclass#n173 Signed-off-by: Michał Górny <mgorny@quansight.com>
