i can define pypi.example.com in requirements.txt or via command line
options for pip but i'm trying to define it in setup.py.
is it unreasonable to expect option in setup.py to define
multiple/alternative pypi locations or should i change something in my
workflow?
telling pip where to look for each package requirement (assuming it's
in a different pypi location) makes me think that i shouldn't define
requirements in setup.py and simply use pip/requirements.txt to manage
dependencies.

maybe i'm missing something?
