In a Python 2.7 environment, pip tries to install the 4.0.0b1 release of bitstring which is not compatible with 2.7:

> pip install --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver bitstring== --index-url https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.python.org/simple/

Thanks. -Selim

Hmmm. Not sure why it turns up in that list, but it shouldn't be a problem unless you actually ask for that beta specifically (and betas don't have any guarantees that they will work!)

The Pypi page for that release doesn't suggest it supports 2.7, but possibly it was misconfigured. So I don't think it should be causing any problems, but equally it's not needed any more and it only takes one more click to remove it so I'll do so.

Version yanked. It shouldn't show up any more.
