When I am installing Amazon's CloudFormation bootstrap, which depends on pylockfile, I see this:

I suspect that the PyPI record for this project is using a compatibility mode for advertizing links too liberally. I suspect what needs to be done is change the hosting mode on PyPI (using the 'urls' option in the project admin) to use the preferred method for advertizing URLs (and remove any extraneous ones from the package advertizement).
