Summary: Add download_url to setup()
Initial Comment:
For a Python package installer, it would be a good idea to provide a "download URL" metadata keyword in the next release of Python.

So should download_url be omitted from the POST data, or included with a value of UNKNOWN?

Sorry, I was responding to the question "Should
the line simply be omitted in this case"?
I was also entirely vague about the "dict generation" bit too. I was referring
to the build_post_data method in the register command source.
In response to the multiple downloads question, I believe this is an open
question still (as to whether multiple download sources are to be allowed).
PyPI currently allows a single download URL, but since it's still in "test"
mode, I could easily change that.
Sourceforge doesn't auto-redirect if there's no session cookie present.

IMO The line should be omitted.
The patch doesn't touch the register command source - could that be done
too? Perhaps the dict generation should be moved off to the
DistributionMetadata class instead?

What will this line contain, if there are several download
URLs possible (zip, tar.gz, multiple exe fir different
Python versions?)
Will it work with redirects a la Sourceforge?

The attached patch implements the new metadata keyword.
Open question: if a value isn't provided, the PKG-INFO file
will contain the line "Download-URL: UNKNOWN". Should the line
simply be omitted in this case?
There should be an updated metadata PEP; I'm not sure if PEP 241 should be edited or what, but will ask the relevant people.
