I think you misunderstood (the way Barry described it wasn't completely
clear). If I'm reading it correctly, "I don't want to have to change
setup.py every time I make a release" means "I don't want to have to
change the Download-URL metadata in setup.py to point to a specific new
sdist tarball URL every time I make a release; I want it to always point
to the same index URL and have that index page scraped for new release
tarball URLs."
