[Distutils] easy_install installing beta version of psycopg2

easy_install doesn't consider this page at all (anymore). Instead,
it considers the "simple" API, which lists the files uploaded to
PyPI and the download urls alike.

It doesn't download at random. If no version is specified, it downloads
the most recent version.

I normally use aptitude to install Python packages. In order to install
from PyPI specifically, I use Google Chrome.
