[egenix-users] install-pyrun not able to download setuptools + pip due to pypi changes (install-pyrun script version 1.4.2)

[Holger Joukl]

Hi,

first post here, I'm experimenting a little with the very nice pyrun.

Seems like several changes on PyPI (e.g. as described here:
https://status.python.org/incidents/1y1f44q6srh2)
make install-pyrun fail because
- redirects are needed to retrieve the package JSONs with the URLs used in
install-pyrun
- the JSON content seems to have changed in a way that makes the regular
expression-based
retrieval of setuptools + pip package .tar.gz files fail.

Here's a very basic patch that made things work for me:

$ diff install-pyrun.ORIG install-pyrun

> PIP_RE='https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/[^":]+/pip-[0-9\.]+\.tar
\.gz'

egrep .+ expression matches the longest match which caused the previous
regexp to not
work correctly any more.

The URLs and maybe some other stuff (e.g. curl options) should essentially
be configurable but then again
maybe it's not worth to bother because they won't change any time soon
again(?).

If there's a place where I should make a pull request for this patch,
please let me know.

Best,
Holger
