guaranteed to *not* allow archives to be changed and updated without a

- for the same pypi distribution to have a different hash over time. Project
- authors are allowed to delete a distribution, and then upload a new one with

+ version increase. While this is safe on PyPI, it may not be safe for other

+ <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/peep>`_ which offers this feature on top of pip
using requirements file comments.
