We can define the syntax without capturing all the tool support, which is what PEP-440 and thus this PEP does.
so, to be clear, what syntax for the URI portion does it define or require? (beyond it just being a valid URI)
it sounds like you're saying nothing? i.e. although PEP440 says things like it "may" be a sdist or a wheel target or a "source_url", its wide open to whatever a tool may decide is a unique artifact reference?

Only half way thinking about this right this moment, but I think so yes. It’s largely designed for private use cases which is why it’s not allowed on PyPI. It’s essentially a replacement for dependency_links. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
