Pants

err  I wrote <https://github.com/ActionIQ/s3-ivy-resolver>, fixing that previous one

(making account), so how do I get pants now to read the python pkg off here?

See here: <http://pantsbuild.github.io/cheeseshop/third_party/python/>

That's this: <https://github.com/pantsbuild/cheeseshop/tree/gh-pages/third_party/python>

Maybe this makes it clearer. All you need is to point pants at an URL that is a directory listing

oh i see what u mean now, that’s clever using the gh-pages to do it

Bintray makes the index.html for free, ie: <https://dl.bintray.com/pantsbuild/bin/>

We use "generic" for the bintray repo type

Hrm, the bintray hosting requires re-direct following which pex does it looks like when `requests` is not available only, you'll soo find out

actually, requests looks like it auto-follows re-directs for GET

ok so first step all good i think - <https://dl.bintray.com/actioniq/python-pkgs/>

is this right? <https://gist.github.com/nitay/8cfd29e4cee08d11eb5524517d6bf679>

seems to have invalid &lt;a&gt; links - the filenames are prefixed with a :

```
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
//1463170267241
function navi(e){
	location.href = e.target.href.replace('/:','/'); e.preventDefault();
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;a onclick="navi(event)" href=":mysql-connector-python-2.0.4.tar.gz" rel="nofollow"&gt;mysql-connector-python-2.0.4.tar.gz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;a onclick="navi(event)" href=":mysql-connector-python-2.0.4.tar.gz.asc" rel="nofollow"&gt;mysql-connector-python-2.0.4.tar.gz.asc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
```

i think this is the redirects <@U04S45AHA> mentioned?

no - it’s an intentionally hobbled index, presumably to skirt crawlers etc

You might try uploading a non-index index and pointing the url at that file

the pantsbuild url isn’t used for resolving - it uses a string joining approach from the base URL to known paths

does this mean bintray wont work for this? should i try the gh-pages approach?
