PyPI now requires all packages to be hosted on their servers

[James Ascroft-Leigh]

I just tried to install inotifyx into a virtualenv using pip==1.5. I received the following error log:

$ pip --version
pip 1.5 from /home/jwal/Desktop/foo/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)
$ pip install inotifyx
Downloading/unpacking inotifyx
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement inotifyx
  Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external inotifyx to allow).
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for inotifyx
Storing debug log for failure in /home/jascroftleigh/.pip/pip.log

According to the PIP changelog:

BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE pip no longer will scrape insecure external urls by default nor will it install externally hosted files by default. Users may opt into installing externally hosted or insecure files or urls using --allow-external PROJECT and --allow-unverified PROJECT. (Pull #1055)

May I ask that inotifyx is uploaded to the PyPI servers so that it can be downloaded without being forced. Many thanks.

Should be fixed in 0.2.2.
