Implementing this on Warehouse and pip would have the added benefit of
warning users who have a specific version pinned. As for pip letting
stderr messages through, that'd be irrelevant if pip had direct support
for this.

I am not 100% sure if pip will let stderr messages though, but i THINK
it does. Warnings on import will work regardless.
Honestly, I don't care if its marginally easier (and it would only be
marginally easier) to mark a package deprecated by flipping a bit on
the site - it's the last thing they will ever do with the package.

Wouldn't my suggestion or Glyph's be easier for the maintainers? That
way they wouldn't even have to make a new release, just modify a
setting on the package settings page on PyPI.
Also, are you going you see the warning if it's emitted on installation?

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people an interstitial that says "This package is no longer
maintained, please use $X instead" would be very informative.

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.
