Anyway, I deleted the version from PyPI now, so it can't be downloaded anymore.

Thanks for the fix!

It might indeed be a pip issue, but note that (before the fix) I was telling pip to install specifically lower versions, e.g.:

pip install lxml==2.3 pip install lxml==2.3.5 pip install "lxml<3"

In all of these cases, pip installed 3.0.alpha2. I simply couldn't get it to install any other version.

Should I file a bug report for pip in this regard?

Please do. At least bring it up on their mailing list so that they can comment on it. Stefan
