I noticed this morning that python.org is no longer either proxying or 
redirecting under python.org/pypi/XXXXXX/ which means that setuptools 
breaks for installation:
Searching for MyghtyUtils
Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/MyghtyUtils/
No local packages or download links found for MyghtyUtils

Of course, we know that
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/MyghtyUtils

works just fine. Is it possible to have setuptools have a list of URL's 
to try and fail-over to the next one in the event it can't find it at 
the first one? Ideally, setuptools should also be able to pull a list 
of servers mirroring the data for fail-over as well sort of like CPAN 
so that there's some redundancy in the system.

Cheers,
Ben Bangert
