(was not sent before?)

Ok, that's interesting. Does p7g.install support packages that do not register their new releases?

Setuptools/PIP does by scraping the project home pages.

Eg: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyChecker incorrectly (but expected) shows 0.8.12 as latest, but http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/ shows 0.8.19 as the latest. Will p7g.install install 0.8.19?
