Quoting the manual page of uscan.
( uscan is the utility reads debian/watch for watching. )
PyPI
For PyPI based projects, pypi.debian.net runs a redirector
which allows a simpler form of URL. The format below will
automatically be rewritten to use the redirector with the watch
file:
version=4
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/<initial>/<project>/ \
<tar-name>-(.+)\.tar\.gz debian uupdate
For cfn-sphere, set the watch file as:
version=4
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/c/cfn-sphere/ \
cfn-sphere-([\d\.]+).tar.gz debian uupdate
Please note, you can still use normal functionalities of uscan
to set up a watch file for this site without using the
redirector.
version=4
opts="pgpmode=none" \
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cfn-sphere/ \
https://pypi.python.org/packages/.*/.*/.*/\
cfn-sphere-([\d\.]+).tar.gz#.* debian uupdate

Looking forward to something like "OK, that works"
