Description

fetchPypi just calls fetchurl underneath but has a slightly different calling syntax in order to construct the URL. It would be great to track these external dependencies using niv. :-)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing fetchers in niv (e.g., fetchurl) to understand the pattern, then implement a new fetchPypi fetcher that constructs PyPI URLs from package name and version and delegates to fetchurl.
