Pipista started to return error "Must access using HTTPS instead of HTTP". How to fix it?

@Behinder: I changed the pypi url's to https (just in the two strings), and this error^ seemed to go away.

A updated, hopefully working, version can be found here: github.com/boxed/pipista

It turns out my work was unnecessary. A working project is at: https://github.com/ywangd/stash

StaSh is only working on python2
anybody got pip install for Python3 for Pythonista

stash only works in python2 but installs python3 apps fine
