Sort of. Legacy PyPI doesn’t do it but Warehouse (PyPI 2.0) does. Warehouse is 
currently in development but is available for people to use right now (with a 
couple of caveats).

Caveats (off the top of my head):

* Warehouse isn’t “production” so it may or may not be working at any given 
time and no priority is given to trying to keep it running (no monitoring, etc).
* Warehouse doesn’t issue PURGE statements to PyPI, so you may need to either 
wait for caches to timeout or carefully order how you upload (e.g. if sdist is 
small enough but wheels aren’t, upload Wheels to Warehouse first, then sdist to 
PyPI).
* If it’s broken, it may be broken in a way that corrupts your upload, 
requiring you to reissue the release.

On the other hand, I’d love more people to be using Warehouse and seeing what 
bugs they hit so we can make Warehouse better before it launches at 
pypi.python.org.

No.

That’s an option (and currently the only option if you can’t make your wheels 
smaller and you’re unhappy with the caveats of using Warehouse atm).
