[Distutils] easy_install installing beta version of psycopg2

[kiorky]

You can try zc.buildout :

a simple buildout.cfg like :

[buildout]
parts=scripts
versions=versions
[versions]
psycopg2 = 2.3.1
[scripts]
recipe=minitage.recipe.scripts
interpreter = mypy
eggs = psycopg2
	whateverelse

and you will have a bin/mypy wrapper with psycopg2 in its dependencies
