That doesn't actually work. The simple index is still one link away from the actual tarball links, and find-links doesn't spider across. I just tested with both easy_install and pip, and with either one, pointing find-links directly at the PyPI simple/ page does not work. You'd have to use e.g. --find-links http://pypi.python.org/simple/projectname when installing "projectname". > I'm not sure, but you might see find-links doing the insane setuptools > spidering this, in which case, even non-simply links will be fine. simple/ is irrelevant here, it would have to spider in either case.
