Yeah, if PyPi was as annoying as Cran with respect to new versions, then a lot of this pain would go away.
For those who don't realise, when there's a new version of R, anything that doesn't build without errors/warnings is removed from the archive.
This is really annoying if you want something to keep running, but it prevents the kind of dependency rot common to Python (recently I found a dependency that was four years out of date).
