Hi Olaf,
You're hitting a very annoying change in the way PyPI serves source
tarballs, see also https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pypi/issues/438 .
We've implemented a workaround for this in EasyBuild v2.8.0, where we
translate 'normal' old-style URLs to the equivalent one that includes a
hash in it, cfr. https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/1749 .
regards,
Kenneth

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:

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.
https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pypi/issues/438/backwards-compatible-un-hashed-package
Can anybody update me please on what’s going on? Is there something we
can do in the easybuild scope?
Thank you!
Olaf
