[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] scanpypi: don't pass any arguments to main()

'if __name__ == "__main__"' idiom typically calls main function that
doesn't take any arguments in most cases. We shouldn't pass any tuple to
it.
I've tested the script with python-idna-2.5 and now it works with this
little change.
