Hello,

Knowing a distribution name, I'd like to download its latest release
file - as a single step, for easy shell scripting. Is that possible?

For example: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dry/ gives a link to
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/dry/dry-0.0.4.tar.gz . Any
chance to have a URL like 
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/dry/dry.tar.gz which
would download whatever is set as current release?


Thanks,
 Paul                          mailto:pmiscml at gmail.com
