At the bottom, you can see multiple links for it. When easy_install
runs, it usually goes for the first link (which is from an old package
description), not the one from the latest package.

The simple API shows all links from all packages, not just from the
latest package.

In this case, it would help if PyPI would hide all URLs belonging to
hidden releases.

Would that be desirable?


It would be really bad.

It's important for old releases to remain visible so that applications that depend on them can find them.

A better solution to this problem would be to hide dev releases. Dev releases should never be uploaded to pypi.
