[Python-Dev] [PyPI] Why are some packages on pypi.python.org/simple, but have no page?

[Ian Cordasco]

Taking one of your examples: https://pypi.python.org/simple/acid/ 404s
(I didn't bother checkin the other three). So there are links on
/simple but no content for them. So I think your question is better
asked, why are there links on /simple that lead to 404s.
