pip and packages

What limitations exist for paying users (Hacker accounts, specifically) as far as installing extra packages is concerned? I'm using virtualenv, parsescript and a bunch of python packages installed by pip. Is there a way of finding out what i can or can't do before i start paying for a service?

Thanks,

Hi there,

In terms of what you can and can't install, there's no real difference between free and paid accounts. The only relevant differences are that free accounts have restricted internet, and that paid accounts have more storage space; both those things could conceivably affect what you can install, and whether it works or not.

Is there anything that's currently not working in your free account?

Hi
