Theoretically we could allow people to not just select packages, but also
package specifiers for their “curated package set”, so instead of saying
“requests”, you could say “requests~=2.12” or “requests==2.12.2”. If we really
wanted to get slick we could even provide a requirements.txt file format, and
have people able to install the entire set by doing something like:
$ pip install -r https://pypi.org/sets/dstufft/my-cool-set/requirements.txt
