I put this in wheel's d/watch file just to test it out manually:
-----snip snip-----
version=3
http://pypi.debian.net/wheel/wheel-(.+)\.tar.gz
-----snip snip-----
But in case you didn't notice, Piotr implemented something truly brilliant.
It takes all the guesswork out of your d/watch file, at least if you want to
use the redirector.
Just visit
http://pypi.debian.net/<package>/watch
and you'll get a d/watch file perfectly suited for your PyPI package. It's a
little more complicated than the hand-written one e.g. above, but at least
there's no thinking involved! :)
I've updated the instructions here with a cute little curl hack:
