"pip" has a usability problem. It should do a lot more at preventing this kind of thing. When using pip, it's not easy to tell information like the release date, how many versions have been released, and so on. Since such info is available from PyPI API, I wrote my own "pypisearch" script to sort by latest release date and include number of releases to weed out packages that seem useful but are old or rarely released. I should probably integrate PGP signing info too into it.
