Ups, I missed that. Thanks.

Can you answer some questions on best practices for packaging python packages?

1. Are python-setuptools inputs or native-inputs? It seems to be done
both ways but I guess it doesn't really matter since it's an interpreted
language.

2. Pypi uri scheme changed in April to including a blake hash of the
files, but they introduced backwards compatible redirects after it
broke many existing tools [0]. Should new packages use the new
or the old scheme? IMO the old one is cleaner since we can use
(pypi-uri "package-name" version) to construct it instead of having
long hashes. If this is a best practice we should also have the
pypi importer suggest it instead of the new url's.
