1.0dev-r27844 seems to be gone from PyPI.
Such a version should *never* have been "released" to PyPI (any egg / source dist with an SVN revision number in its filename is *not* suitable for sharing with the wider world).
I've made it a habit *not* to enable the option in setup.cfg that adds those svn revision numbers to the version. It is enabled by default in all/most of the ZopeSkel-generated packages that I use.
That single change forces me to maintain a proper version number in the setup.py ("0.9 dev 3" for development versions). That is the spot where you make a change anyway when doing a release. It is waaaay too easy to forget to remove the subversion revision option from setup.cfg (and having to enable it again after the release).
For making releases, I create a tag and remove the setup.cfg file from that tag. No need to remove it from trunk. Also see [1] and [2]. And I agree with Wichert that for non-public packages, these development snapshot releases can be useful. [1] http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#managing-continuous-relea...
