Short story: just tried older release numbers on the URL.

Long story:

A while back I was interested in finding how popular Python packages
were
(http://www.heikkitoivonen.net/blog/2008/10/23/python-package-popularity-contest/).
I noticed that when I install packages with easy_install, it uses a
simple version of PyPI to find and parse stuff
(http://pypi.python.org/simple/). If you go to
http://pypi.python.org/simple/paramiko/ you can actually confirm that
there is 1.7.5 and 1.7.2 but nothing in between. And lots of older releases.
