You're right, it actually uses http://pypi.python.org as index by default, 
so it starts out at http://pypi.python.org/simple/sympy/ which lists the 
old home pages.

If you use the default index, it ends up on the google home page 
eventually. I just removed the "Featured" label from 
sympy-0.7.2.rc1.python3.tar.gz, and pip stopped picking up that version.

If you specify a different index when running pip, you can also stop it 
from picking up "Featured" downloads, e.g. pip install -i 
"http://pypi.python.org/pypi/";.

So there are multiple solutions to have pip not install our release 
candidates, I trust that you now make your decision on which solution you 
prefer.

No, not StrictVersion, but NormalizedVersion. Please read PEP 386 again, I 
doubt that I can write it out in more explicit details than what is in 
there. Anyway, it's not a big issue, but could be considered next time.
