I think an ideal solution would be to add a feature to Warehouse that would "redirect" any downloads of a library to another. Though I'm not saying it would be simple.

What's wrong with a new release that just depends on replacement (assuming there's identical API)? This might be of help: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypi-alias

If there are API changes or other breakages then maybe a release with a wrapper that emits warnings would be better and generate less surprise/anger.

    I wasted some time because I used a deprecated python package.

    What is the official way to deprecate a python package?
