[Distutils] setuptools auto-installing not working due to python.org proxy/redirect not working

I noticed this morning that python.org is no longer either proxying or redirecting under python.org/pypi/XXXXXX/ which means that setuptools breaks for installation: Searching for MyghtyUtils Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/MyghtyUtils/ No local packages or download links found for MyghtyUtils Of course, we know that http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/MyghtyUtils works just fine. Is it possible to have setuptools have a list of URL's to try and fail-over to the next one in the event it can't find it at the first one? Ideally, setuptools should also be able to pull a list of servers mirroring the data for fail-over as well sort of like CPAN so that there's some redundancy in the system. Cheers, Ben Bangert
