I suppose that "setuptools" is confused by the "-" in the package
names together with these "-" being omitted in the uploaded file
(https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/G/Google-Safe-Browsing-v2-Lookup/Google%20Safe%20Browsing%20v2%20Lookup-0.1.0.tar.gz5").

If this supposition is correct, then you would either need to
contact the "setuptools" author (to get "setuptools" handle this case)
or the "Google Safe Browsing" author to get a filename more
in line with the package name.
