Perhaps, before anyone tries to make pip doing something mechanical about deprecations, we should just have the website itself do this sort of redirect? Removing the download would be drastic; giving people an interstitial that says "This package is no longer maintained, please use $X instead" would be very informative. -glyph
I don't remember the last time I used the pypi website. I use pypi every day. I don't know if I am weird, but redirecting web views would do nothing for me. Redirecting packages is pure evil.
I really think the best course of action is for the maintainer to release a final version of the package that warns on install and import.
