pip install doesn't work

[moo...@posteo.org]

I tried to install PyPubSub on my Ubuntu14.04 for Python3.4 with pib.
But doesn'T work.

user@MONSTER:~$ sudo pip3 install pypubsub
Downloading/unpacking pypubsub
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pypubsub
Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external
pypubsub to allow). Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for pypubsub
Storing debug log for failure in /home/user/.pip/pip.log

It is the same with "pip" (without the '3'). But I have to use pip3
because I am using Python3.

Try --allow-external since for now the files are actually stored on SourceForge.net.

Hi,

   Is there any chance this will get sorted for a future release ?

The download stats on SF.net are much better than on pypi. I am planning on updating the docs shortly to clarify this and the --allow-external so unless there are other issues you have that warrant this, I don't see moving pypubsub releases to be hosted on pypi. Have you tried with latest pip (6.1.1 -- which is really 1.6.1.1)? Many improvements since 1.5.6.

That does seem better with 1.6.1, at least I only need 

$ pip install pypubsub --allow-external pypubsub

Can you please add this to the docs? The instructions you give in the installation docs are clear: "pip install pypubsub" - but it doesn't work... maybe at least add a clause mentioning --allow-external? It's a shame this is going ignored for so long.
