Correct, although on further reflection, if the alternative download site has
predictable URLs, then it wouldn't be too difficult to calculate the new url
for setup.py.  I just don't want to have to change the version number in more
than one place (which for my packages, is *not* the setup.py).

I'm a bit unsure of the reason for this. The goal is very specifically the
hosting outside of PyPI is no longer encouraged. The reliability and
performance of PyPI have enough of a track record now that "I want it on my
own site just in case" no longer holds enough water to be worth the
substantial downsides.

Fair enough.
