PyPI just publishes the data the module contains.

E.g. `install_requires: ['six~=1.14.0']`. Or maybe a dropdown where you select the compatibility you want and and it formats the version string. This does seem like a good way to encourage people to specify or at least think about versioned dependencies, although I wonder how many people look at pypi when specifying their dependencies in `install_requires`?
