[Distutils] how can projects with no files have downloads?

[holger krekel]

Hi Donald, all,

I sometimes have doubts that the download numbers as shown by
pypi.python.org are correct.  Here is one case where i am pretty sure
something is wrong:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytes

That's a project a friend uploaded after he heart me saying at my devpi
talk at EP2014 that i sometimes type "pip install pytes" :) It never had
files ASFAIK but has "18 downloads". How comes?
