PurlDB considers Python/pypi package as not support for `/api/collect/index_packages`

[rogu-beta]

Calling the endpoint /api/collect/index_packages does not process the submitted PURL if it is from pypi (e.g. pkg:pypi/accelerate@1.6.0). This happens both when triggering the pipeline populate_purldb from ScanCode.io or calling the API endpoint of PurlDB manually.

Based on the recently merged commit, I would assume that this is supposed to work.

@ghsa-retrieval We missed adding pypi to the list of supported_ecosystems in api/collect/index_packages/ (a0acd2e)

I've added it in a PR here (#600) which should resolve the issue.

[rogu-beta]

@JonoYang I can confirm, I'm now able to trigger the collection for pypi packages. I have encountered one error though, it appears that some data is longer than the database permits, though I should perhaps create a separate issue for this.

Edit: I've created a separate issue for this, see #601
