A utility to fetch and download python packages

Why this project?

This project exists as the last piece to complete the puzzle of a package manager. The other pieces are:

• resolvelib - Resolves concrete dependencies from a set of (abstract) requirements.
• unearth (This project) - Finds and downloads the best match(es) for a given requirement.
• build - Builds wheels from the source code.
• installer - Installs packages from wheels.

They provide all the low-level functionalities that are needed to resolve and install packages.
