Yes. Also, "pypi" should redirect to "pypi/" otherwise all the relative links 
will be off-by-one. Not to mention normalising to a single URL for

IE 5.0 introduces nothing but a bunch of DHTML extensions you'd never stoop
to using, and yet more parochial Microsoft dialects (Want to view pages
without annoying browser buttons? Just change all your .html files to
.hma! Will they never learn?)   - NTKnow, 16jun98, http://www.ntk.net/
