I wonder why.
You should be *very* afraid of depending on PyPI for softare rolled into production.
Why do you think he should be afraid? Packages or releases might disappear - intentionally or unintentionally - in both cases a buildout with fixed pinned version may fail.
That's a minor issue at this point, because: - We now know not to remove releases. - If you are using something in production, you should archive the necessary source releases, using a tool like zc.sourcerelease. IOW, you shouldn't do production deployments using a dynamic assembly mechanism. Jim -- Jim Fulton Zope Corporation
