vanity fails on packages with non-canonical names #12

Closed alex closed 10 years ago

alex commented 10 years ago

Packages whose name is not the same as their canonical name don't appear to work:

$ vanity django
No downloads for django.
$ vanity Django
No downloads for django.

Strange, this was working until very recently. Maybe @dstufft knows of some PyPI changes that could affect the outcome of such queries? We definitely already have code to handle Django vs. django or Pillow vs pillow or Plone vs. Plone, etc.

PyPI changed how the redirecting code worked this past weekend, I suspect that's when it broke.

I see, /simple/ doesn't redirect anymore (did it ever?) https://pypi.python.org/simple/django/

I'll rely on /pypi/ instead.
