Comment (by zooko):

 People were just wishing for related (but not identical) functionality on
 the distutils-sig mailing list and Barry Warsaw settled on patching
 {{{setup.cfg}}} of each Python project that he is building to add this
 stanza:
 {{{
 [easy_install]
 allow_hosts: None
 }}}

 But I still feel like this ticket is underspecified. Before I make further
 progress on this ticket I want someone who cares a lot about this issue to
 tell me whether the test procedure (which is a Buildbot "build step") in
 comment:21 would be sufficient.
