New issue 667 by [email protected]: install of python package can fail, pypi packaging of "protobuf" has wrong hosting mode
https://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=667

Hello,

There are situations where "pip install protobuf==2.5.0" commands for installing the python package cause a failure because in certain configurations it will scrape the home page and find the "protobuf-2.5.0.zip" source package there but this is not the python package and the pip command then fails.

As it seems, all protobuf python packages are hosted from the pypi servers so it's safe to just use the hosting mode "don't extract URLs" which you can configure when logged in ad admin on pypi, on a link that should look like this:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi?name=protobuf&version=2.6.0&:action=urls

This would also speed up installs as the home page will not be looked at anymore.

best,
holger
