How can I subscribe to updates of a package on PyPI?

Question

I would like to be notified every time a new version of Virtualenv is released on PyPI, preferably by email or by RSS feed. Is this possible?

Answer 1

The Warehouse project that powers the
The Python Package Index (PyPI) at PyPI.org had a pull request to add support for "package update feeds" at URLs of the form /rss/{package_name}/updates.xml. That has been closed and in favour of a more general issue for a different, yet-to-be-implemented API.

When/if that goes live, that API will become the most direct and official way to get the updates you're after.
