delete_remote_packages.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
Helper script for working around a "feature" in Gitlab's pypi package repositories.
Pypi does not support uploading packages of the same version,
they believe the version should be bumped for any change.
We're going to delete packages instead.

Call this script with positional args.
The first is the token with read and write access to the pypi repository.
This can be your personal access token or $CI_DEPLOY_PASSWORD.
$CI_JOB_TOKEN does not work, it doesn't have write access.
The remainder is an unlimited list of wheels to be uploaded.

If any local wheels find a match in name and version in the remote pypi repository, the remote will be deleted.
