I can certainly see people relying too heavily on GitHub (and similar) tarball auto-generation, while uploading a better one to PyPI that they've actually bootstrapped. Since this one builds fine, and the GitHub project is the official home page for better or worse, I'd vote against adding an ‘additional dependency on PyPI infrastucture’ as I think someone on the list put it.
Another reason for using pypi is that the github updater ignores tagged but not released 'releases', such as this. Perhaps we should change that, do others have an opinion?
Since using pypi is the way Python users expect to be able to install packages, making developers less concerned about their github releases than their pypi ones, I reckon sticking with pypi-uri is the way to go.
