Hi, currently, lxml has both a stable release series (1.3.x) and an unstable alpha release series (2.0alphaX) on PyPI. When you "easy_install lxml", you get the 2.0alpha version. I don't think that's what users expect and it's definitely not what most users want, but at the same time I would like to keep 2.0 visible and easy_install-able to make people aware of it and to let them decide by themselves. I would like to have easy_install changed to either consider the Trove development status of a package and prefer the highest one (or at least those from 5 up), and/or to check the version string for the typical alpha/beta substrings and ignore them by default. It would then be easy to add a command line option like "--unstable" for those who know better. Any comments on that? Stefan
