New submission from Michael Mulich <michael.mul...@gmail.com>: packaging.pypi.dist should abstract download errors, especially those from external sources. Download errors are currently reported from urllib. We should probably be using packaging.errors.PackagingPyPIError in this situation. Other suggestions?
Example case: sake version 0.0.0 has a external download URL that throws a 404 (see also http://pypi.python.org/simple/sake/). When attempting to download this release, we receive a ValueError from urllib, which is not very detailed and could mean a number of things. Traceback (most recent call last): ... [dev project] ...
