 This analogy is not quite correct. PyPi is a distribution channel, not a
downstream. Not that I can think of a better analogy though. But the important
thing is: the PyPi location is under control of the upstream author, so it is
equally upstream as the git repo. Brian Thorne (the python-can author) doesn't
upload tarballs to the bitbucket location (you only get the automatic ones), but
only to PyPi. So there really is something to be said for using PyPi as the
download location.

 Very true.

 Basically I'm OK with either location.
