Dear easybuilders,
I just tried building the latest Python and noticed that extensions do not
longer download. The URL seems to have changed. For example:
exts_list = [
('pip', '8.1.2', {
'source_urls': ['http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pip/'],
}),
results in:
== 2016-06-23 14:58:21,666 filetools.py:273 WARNING URL
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pip/pip-8.1.2.tar.gz was not found

I also tried changing the URL to https, which did not help in my test.
When I check the pip home page on pypi, I get the following download link:
https://pypi.python.org/packages/e7/a8/7556133689add8d1a54c0b14aeff0acb03c64707ce100ecd53934da1aa13/pip-8.1.2.tar.gz#md5=87083c0b9867963b29f7aba3613e8f4a
Then I found the following thread, where Kenneth already has contributed. The
issue is marked as "resolved", though.

Can anybody update me please on what's going on? Is there something we can do
in the easybuild scope?
Thank you!
Olaf
