Thanks Daniel.  I have good and bad news for this patch.

The bad news is that I don’t want to accept patches without tests.  We need to stop guessing or experimenting with the real PyPI to fix bugs.

The good news is that we have a mock PyPI server in distutils2.  Its use is described at http://distutils2.notmyidea.org/library/distutils2.tests.pypi_server.html and there are examples in the current test suite.  Instructions for patching distutils2 are at http://wiki.python.org/moin/Distutils/FixingBugs .  When a patch that includes a test is written, I will backport the relevant parts to distutils1.
