I want to shift to using the new GitHub Releases for my packages. I can't figure out what my download_url needs to be. The version is 1.3.5 I've tried various incarnations of the releases/tag/1.3.5, archive/1.3.5, and archive/1.3.5#egg=v1.3.5 to no avail.
My question is that in reading the PEP 438 - I know it's looking for simple-history-v1.3.5.EXT but can I force setup.py to use a specific url?
from setuptools import find_packages, setup
from simple_history import __version__
base_url = 'https://github.com/pivotal-energy-solutions/django-simple-history'
setup(name='simple_history',
version=__version__,
description='Store Django model history with the ability to revert back to a '
'specific change at any time. This includes capturing request.user',
author='Steven Klass',
author_email='sklass@pivotalenergysolutions.com',
url=base_url,
download_url='{0}/archive/{1}.tar.gz'.format(base_url, __version__),
license='Apache License (2.0)',
classifiers=[
'Development Status :: 2 - Pre-Alpha',
'Environment :: Web Environment',
'Framework :: Django',
'Intended Audience :: Developers',
'License :: OSI Approved :: Apache Software License',
'Operating System :: OS Independent',
'Programming Language :: Python',
'Topic :: Software Development',
],
packages=find_packages(exclude=['tests', 'tests.*']),
package_data={'simple_history': ['static/js/*.js', 'templates/simple_history/*.html']},
include_package_data=True,
zip_safe=False,
requires=['django (>=1.2)', ],
)
When I do an easy install it's saying its finding it but it always goes back to version 1.1. Can someone please clue me in on my problem.
$ easy_install -vvv simple_history

Best match: simple-history 1.1
Please provide simple-history-1.3.5.tar.gz as a download for your release 1.3.5; in other words '{0}-{1}{2}'.format(packagename, version, ext)). See setuptools.package_index.interpret_distro_name for reference on how easy_install tries to parse the basename of the url.
Update:
In other words, if name your release on GitHub as <pypi package>-<version>. This will then allow it to get picked up automatically if you simply change your download_url to
download_url='{0}/releases'.format(base_url)
# or
package_name='simple_history' # define it before setup()
download_url='{0}/archive/{1}-{2}'.format(base_url, package_name, __version__)
