Pip does not check the trove classifiers - I'm not aware of any other
way to check for Python version support.

I'm not sure that it would be a good idea for pip to start checking
trove classifiers - too many packages just don't use them, or haven't
updated them correctly. I guess it could be an overridable warning,
perhaps. And I suppose that would encourage people to start setting them
correctly...
