Hello,

sometimes I want to upgrade a package from a specify remote directory, for 
example, this become very slow because he need to lookup packages in pypi. An 
workaround is specify pypi to 'localhost'(for example [2]), this one will be 
fast enough, but it's a little ugly.

How about provide an option to disable 'pypi'?

Thanks.
