Leave older versions of the module on PyPI when new versions are released #47

Open ptwobrussell opened 10 years ago

Can you please leave older versions of the module on PyPI when you release new versions?

It breaks existing workflows when a module is in a pip requirements file against a specific tested version and then disappears. Here's a case in point [1]. I appreciate the work on additional versions, but it will take me some time to re-test and bump dependencies. Leaving the older versions available as an option would be a great service to people such as myself. Thank you for your consideration.

Hello Matthew,

Sorry for that, I removed older versions from PIP servers, because they were heavily buggy. In any case, I am very sensitive about backward compatibility and won't permit a newer version to broke older package's functionality, so may be you can make your requirements.txt look like:

python-linkedin>=3.0

instead of

python-linkedin==3.0

Cheers.
