The `buildPython*` function computes name from `pname` and `version`.
This change removes `name` attribute from all expressions in
`pkgs/development/python-modules`.
While at it, some other minor changes were made as well, such as
replacing `fetchurl` calls with `fetchPypi`.
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
Using the pytables internal c-blosc lead to a compilation error on
darwin, as the installer uses cpuinfo.get_cpu_info(), which
(unexpectedly for pytables) returns None in the current darwin-python.

It offers read/write access to hdf5 archives through a hierarchical interface.
I am adding it, because pandas depends on tables for hdf5 read/write
functionality.
Note: The name is a bit of an issue. The project is called pytables, whereas
the python module is simply called tables. I chose to name the nix-expression
tables for consistency with the source-tarball and the module name.
