Test PYPI - create route for reusing filename

[ValueRaider]

What's the problem this feature will solve?
Test PyPI is intended for testing Python packaging. Great, but there is a fatal flaw - the very newbie you target can easily make mistakes before learning about no filename reuse (e.g. me). Now they have to maintain two separate packages, one renamed for testing and second for live - this is asking for trouble.

Describe the solution you'd like
Provide some means of removing all records of a package name from Test PyPI, with a clear warning that this would not be possible in live PyPI. Nuking and restarting should be acceptable when testing.

The help page indicates this should be possible: https://test.pypi.org/help/#file-name-reuse

PyPI does not allow for a filename to be reused, even once a project has been deleted and recreated.
To avoid this situation, use Test PyPI to perform and check your upload first, before uploading to pypi.org.

Thanks for the report! Going to close this in favor of #726 which would be an overall better solution to this issue.

So I would have thought that Test PyPI would allow you to test package uploading and, thus, wouldn't complain if you upload a package twice. But it does.

Is there a way to override this behaviour, i.e., have Test PyPI let you upload a package with the same name twice?

Thanks!
