Description
http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/Download says "[i]f you have a recent version of pip installed, you can directly install Genshi using the pip command-line tool: pip install Genshi".
Since pip 1.5 was released, this hasn't worked, as pip 1.5 "[will] no longer scrape insecure external urls by default nor will it install externally hosted files by default". Genshi's external URL is insecure (it is sent over HTTP, without SSL/TLS) and the downloads are externally hosted.
Presently, to install Genshi one must use pip install --allow-external Genshi --allow-unverified Genshi Genshi. In the short-term, the documentation should be fixed to provide working instructions to install Genshi; longer-term it would be desirable to have verifiable downloads from PyPI (with all the metadata to verify the download fetched securely), and ideally with the releases hosted on PyPI.
