If the package in question doesn't have its own "homepage", I suggest 
using its CheeseShop URL (http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/EGGNAME). If 
your package has a meaningful long_description (typically lifted from a 
README.txt file), the CheeseShop page can actually make a decent 
homepage for libraries.
