That seems like a bad idea.  In my experience, pyparsing has changed APIs at 
even minor releases.  Worse, given the complexity of the interface, I wouldn't 
be surprised if more subtle differences or bugs were introduced by different 
versions.  I understand the argument for this for the bigger packages, but 
pyparsing isn't that many lines of code, and is a single file.  I don't know if 
the saved disk space and bandwidth is worth the extra maintenance and support 
effort.  I would much prefer to write for a single version of pyparsing that we 
can verify works.

Cheers,
Mike
