pypi.org change which may affect currency checks

I noticed the other day that my python module version checks were 
failing. It appears that pypi.org now uses javascript to verify the 
browser.  This causes my curl requests to fail. I see that the BLFS 
currency check scripts use php and I suspect they may also suffer from this.

As a work around I now check for the latest release of a package from
   https://pypi.org/rss/project/<project_name>/releases.xml
which doesn't suffer from the problem.
