Why is Django 1.0.x not able to install from PyPI?

Question

I tried it on virtualenv:

(venv) $ pip install Django==1.0.4
Downloading/unpacking Django==1.0.4
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement Django==1.0.4 (from versions: )
No distributions matching the version for Django==1.0.4
Storing complete log in /home/tokibito/.pip/pip.log

Looks as though the latest version is the only one available for download from pypi. — hd1, Dec 14 '12 at 01:00
@hd1 - that's not true - see http://pypi.python.org/simple/Django/ for a list of versions available from PyPI. — Dominic Rodger, Dec 14 '12 at 09:52

Unfortunately, PyPI only has Django versions 1.1.4 and upwards. If you want the old version, you can just install directly from github:

pip install git+https://github.com/django/django.git@1.0.4

You could always point your requirement.txt directly at the version you want from the official Github repository. I've never done it this way, so I can't walk you through it, but it seems like a viable option if you need to run a specific version that's not on PyPI.

You can specify an alternative code source within your requirements.txt file.

#Django==1.0.4
git+https://github.com/django/django.git@1.0.4
