Since PyPI is so common, the ``PythonPackage`` base class has a
``pypi`` attribute that can be set. Once set, ``pypi`` will be used
to define the ``homepage``, ``url``, and ``list_url``. For example,
the following:
.. code-block:: python
homepage = 'https://pypi.org/project/setuptools/'
url = 'https://pypi.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-49.2.0.zip'

You may have noticed that Spack allows you to add multiple versions of
the same package without adding multiple versions of the download URL.
It does this by guessing what the version string in the URL is and
replacing this with the requested version. Obviously, if Spack cannot
guess the version correctly, or if non-version-related things change
in the URL, Spack cannot substitute the version properly.
Once upon a time, PyPI offered nice, simple download URLs like::
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/n/numpy/numpy-1.13.1.zip
As you can see, the version is 1.13.1. It probably isn't hard to guess
what URL to use to download version 1.12.0, and Spack was perfectly
capable of performing this calculation.
However, PyPI switched to a new download URL format::
https://pypi.python.org/packages/c0/3a/40967d9f5675fbb097ffec170f59c2ba19fc96373e73ad47c2cae9a30aed/numpy-1.13.1.zip#md5=2c3c0f4edf720c3a7b525dacc825b9ae
and more recently::
https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/b0/2b/497c2bb7c660b2606d4a96e2035e92554429e139c6c71cdff67af66b58d2/numpy-1.14.3.zip
As you can imagine, it is impossible for Spack to guess what URL to
use to download version 1.12.0 given this URL. There is a solution,
however. PyPI offers a new hidden interface for downloading
Python packages that does not include a hash in the URL::
https://pypi.io/packages/source/n/numpy/numpy-1.13.1.zip
This URL redirects to the https://files.pythonhosted.org URL. The general
syntax for this https://pypi.io URL is::
https://pypi.io/packages/<type>/<first-letter-of-name>/<name>/<name>-<version>.<extension>
Please use the https://pypi.io URL instead of the https://pypi.python.org
URL. If both ``.tar.gz`` and ``.zip`` versions are available, ``.tar.gz``
is preferred. If some releases offer both ``.tar.gz`` and ``.zip`` versions,
but some only offer ``.zip`` versions, use ``.zip``.
If ``pypi`` is set as mentioned above, ``url`` and ``list_url`` will

``.tar.gz`` and ``.zip`` versions, but some only offer ``.zip`` versions,
