pip errors out because file is "unverified"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to install pypyodbc using pip:
pip install pypypodbc

2. Get an error about it being hosted externally:
Downloading/unpacking pypyodbc
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pypyodbc
  Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external pypyodbc to allow).

3. Add flag indicated by message:
pip install pypyodbc --allow-external pypyodbc

4. Get an error about it being unverified:
Downloading/unpacking pypyodbc
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pypyodbc
  Some insecure and unverifiable files were ignored (use --allow-unverified pypyodbc to allow).

5. Finally install using both arguments:
pip install pypyodbc --allow-external pypyodbc --allow-unverified pypyodbc

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest on Windows

Please provide any additional information below.

Looking at the issue list for pip on github, the --allow-unverified argument 
might imply the --allow-external argument in the future, but as I understand 
it, this isn't going away and can only be fixed repo side. 
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1268 suggests something about adding a hash 
fixing it, but I don't know what that means.

I think this should now be fixed after google closed the file download services 
and I moved the files to PYPI.
