[Distutils] PyPI index workaround

[Михаил Голубев]

Right, sorry, that initial question wasn't clear about that.

We need the latest versions only for installed packages. Nonetheless, as
you noted, it's still several dozens consecutive requests to
"/simple/<package_name>" for each PyCharm session of every user.

Can you handle that?
