I agree it's a hack.
but only >=1.2 package metadata supports "requires-python" and nothing is
writing that now (except for wheel).
if newer metadata were pervasive and available on pypi, pip could respond
to it.
I think it would probably automatically start showing up in the json and
xml interfaces?
but would require some changes to expose an html attribute for the simple
interface, which pip currently uses.
