PyPI XML-RPC API that pypi-download uses has been removed

[WilliamDEdwards]

pypi-download now fails with the following error. I ran it successfully on June 26.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/stdeb/transport.py", line 62, in request
    resp.raise_for_status()

    raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://pypi.org//RPC2
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The PyPI API documentation at https://warehouse.pypa.io/api-reference/xml-rpc.html says:

The XML-RPC API will be deprecated in the future.
[...]
Users of this API are strongly encouraged to subscribe to the pypi-announce mailing list for notices as we begin the process of removing XML-RPC from PyPI.

The pypi-announce mailing list is empty though.

This was resolved by #201 and will be included in the 0.10.1 release.

Nice to see this project coming back to life!
