Now that PyPI is free of name collisions with respect to
the (setuptools) normalized_name, the "simple" API offers
redirects in cases where a name was misspelled.
E.g. accessing
http://pypi.python.org/simple/pyxml
will redirect to
http://pypi.python.org/simple/PyXML
This should remove the need to download the entire simple
index in setuptools, in most cases.
Regards,
Martin
