[Distutils] pypi.python Error 403 Forbidden

Hallo Marius,

>> After a few hours I found the following article:
>>  https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2017-October/031712.html
>>   ...you can no longer access /simple/ and /packages/ over HTTP and you will have to directly go to HTTPS....

I have not found a official website.
I would have expected an info on the page https://pypi.python.org/pypi.
Where can I find an official statement?

Apparently exist prog on https://pypi.python.org which use http,
but ypi.python.org does not allow http.
It's not easy.

A user should be able to decide for himself whether to use HTTP or HTTPS.


regards Heiko.
