Can you provide more info about this?
Are we trying to:
Update the available pythons to the latest versions (like 2.7.8 and 3.5)?
Can you explain what you mean in the sentence above?

For example, rvm (Ruby Version Manager) refer to the list of available rubys on the internet.
But now pythonbrew refer to the list of avilable pythons in the local file.
I want to change pythonbrew to like rvm (about system to find avilable version).
Current pythonbrew can update avilable list when use update command, but it is convenient that pythonbrew updated list automatically or refer list on the internet when install python.
What do you think?

Also it is easy to use that can install Python versions that are not listed.
I think this idia is feasible because python download URLs are very regular URLs.

I like this idea. Can you show me where this "update" command is? I didn't know pythonbrew had it.
This will definitely be a useful feature, where pythonbrew checks for all the versions of python available on the internet dynamically, instead of checking a static file locally.

Pythonbrew update config if you execute
pythonbrew update --config.See
/pythonbrew/pythonbrew/commands/update.pyline 25 and 46.ysakasin commentedon Sep 9, 2014
Thank you for agree. Pythonbrew will be very useful if get checking system!!
Could you assign me coding?

Done.
Please test the code locally before making a commit.
I won't update the latest python versions (2.7.7 and 2.7.8 and also the latest py3 versions). I want to see if your dynamic update script picks up the newest versions without hard-coding them into the files.
Support dynamic updating #2
