I would guess you need to start from the API (e.g. https://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPIJSON) and go wherever it says. If writing your own automated thing, you could access the API yourself, or just delegate it to pip. For user-facing instructions, I would highly suggest having them do "pip install X" rather than have them download a tarball, extract it, find and run setup.py. If you want to pin it at a version, you can do something like: pip install "virtualenv==15.1.0" pip install "django>=1.11,<1.12" # for a range of versions Nick
