netaddr packages not hosted on PyPI

netaddr packages are not hosted on PyPI, which prevents it from being installed using pip configured with allow-all-external = false.

The advantage of this option is that pip runs much faster, having much less links to crawl for finding installation candidates. This options is part of an ongoing plan to make PyPI faster and more secure and -- I think -- will become the default in the future.

Would you consider switching netaddr to PyPI hosting mode and upload packages to PyPI? All the information is here: http://pypi-externals.caremad.io/help/what/

It's worse than that, pip 1.5 simply won't install this, unless options are given to it, which means that every single bit of automation anywhere that installs netaddr has to change to keep working.

+1 to hosting on PyPI

Just adding a voice here. OpenStack has a lot of dependence on netaddr and pip.. right now with pip 1.5 we simply are broken and must host a local mirror or whitelist netaddr.. neither are as simple as just uploading it to pypi.

OK, latest release 0.7.10 uploaded to PyPI. I check the install using pip 1.5 and all looks good.

If previous releases are required for any reason I can upload those on request.
