[Slackbuilds-users] Updates - 20161231.1

[Jeremy Hansen]

Best I could find is modifying the program's setup.cfg and add the
following:

[easy_install]
allow_hosts: None

This doesn't disable attempting to download packages (I couldn't find
anything for that), but it does prevents connections because it, obviously,
doesn't have any allowable hosts.
