Utilize PyPi.org as a remote PyPI repository for packages not hosted on GitLab

Problem to solve

The GitLab PyPI Repository will allow Python developers to utilize GitLab as a remote repository for their python packages. However, it is likely that not all of their packages will be hosted on GitLab and that they will public packages hosted on https://pypi.python.org/pypi as well.

Intended users

• Sasha (Software Developer)
• Devon (DevOps Engineer)
• Sidney (Systems Administrator)
