I noticed that pip sends a pretty strange User-Agent string:

127.0.0.1 - - [23/Mar/2015:08:31:31 +0000] "GET /python/ HTTP/1.1" 200 =
17676 "-" "pip/6.0.8 =
{\x22cpu\x22:\x22x86_64\x22,\x22distro\x22:{\x22id\x22:\x22trusty\x22,\x22=
libc\x22:{\x22lib\x22:\x22glibc\x22,\x22version\x22:\x222.4\x22},\x22name\=
x22:\x22Ubuntu\x22,\x22version\x22:\x2214.04\x22},\x22implementation\x22:{=
\x22name\x22:\x22CPython\x22,\x22version\x22:\x222.7.6\x22},\x22installer\=
x22:{\x22name\x22:\x22pip\x22,\x22version\x22:\x226.0.8\x22},\x22python\x2=
2:\x222.7.6\x22,\x22system\x22:{\x22name\x22:\x22Linux\x22,\x22release\x22=
:\x223.13.0-46-generic\x22}}"

This looks like a strangely encoded JSON blob. Can that be changed to =
something more human readable and parseable by standard log analysers?
