Solution:

I own several packages on PyPI. I have set them all up with dummy packages that have pwntools as a requirement.

ctf
exploit
pwn
pwning
hack

Now pip install pwn works to get the latest pwntools:

user@ubuntu:~$ pip install pwn
Downloading/unpacking pwn
  Downloading pwn-1.0.tar.gz
  Running setup.py (path:/tmp/user/pip_build_user/pwn/setup.py) egg_info for package pwn

Downloading/unpacking pwntools (from pwn)
  Downloading pwntools-2.1.3.tar.gz (5.5MB): 5.5MB downloaded
  Running setup.py (path:/tmp/user/pip_build_user/pwntools/setup.py) egg_info for package pwntools
