Description

Python packages with a character in uppercase cannot be uploaded in package registry.
eg : Pygments-2.13.0-py3-none-any.whl from pypi.org
or
PyQt5_Qt5-5.15.2-py3-none-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl from pypi.org
lead to :
2022/09/01 08:57:24 ...ackages/pypi/pypi.go:34:func1() [T] [631057d4] plainTextInternal (status=400): invalid name or version
By changing the wheel file name and the name entry in METADATA file of the package by lowercase solve the issue.
could be related to :
routers/api/packages/pypi/pypi.go
var nameMatcher = regexp.MustCompile('\A[a-z0-9\.\-_]+\z')
sorry for not being in a situation currently to provide a correct (and tested) pull request but I'll work on it in the future

As per PEP 426 the only valid characters in a name are the ASCII alphabet, ASCII numbers, ., -, and _. The name should be lowercased with all runs of the characters ., -, or _ replaced with a single - character.

I misinterpreted the last sentence, uppercase characters are fine. Will send a PR.

I may be wrong but I do not see the PR backport in 1.17.3 despite in roadmap ?
