easy_install is great. But it always automatically installs the *latest* version. Even if that is beta,alpha (or however else the developers call it). Is there no switch or possibility to disable this feature? So that it installs the latest *stable* version?
I know that you can specify a specific version of a package with (for example) easy_install -U "SQLAlchemy==0.3.10" This is undocumented on the web-page by the way ;) But having to specify the version number for each package is quite cumbersome. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
