For anyone who maintains python modules, pypi has changed their download links in a way that completely breaks fink. They replaced the regular links like https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/c/cffi/cffi-1.6.0.tar.gz with this abomination: https://pypi.python.org/packages/b6/98/11feff87072e2e640fb8320712b781eccdef05d588618915236b32289d5a/cffi-1.6.0.tar.gz. So the links are no longer predictable. This was done for security reasons but has broken anything which depends on a predictable link. After many people complained, they reintroduced the old style links which redirect to the new ones; however, only on the beta version of the new pypi. The upshot is that you need to change any download links that use https://pypi.python.org to use https://pypi.io instead and things will work again.
