I know, I normally wouldn't do that, sorry. But in this case, there were some
10 minutes between the time I sent the release mail and deleting the source
tar from PyPI, and less than 20 minutes before having the fix up. It usually
takes a couple of days to weeks to walk up into Debian etc., and I don't
expect many people to jump on the train within seconds, so the harm done here
should really be negligible...

Note also that PyPI presents the MD5 sum of the file, so you can click on that
to see if what you have is what you want.

Anyway, as I said, you're right in general.
