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

There's now a package called yolk that will check PyPi for updates on your installed packages.

pip install yolk
yolk -l  # List all of the installed packages yolk can check
yolk -U  # Check PyPi for updates on the installed packages

It doesn't seem to work for Python 3 yet, although there is a Python 3 fork yolk3k. You can schedule this to go once a day and notify you in case there's a new version...
