PyPI is queried at most once per 24 hours; the response is cached in ~/.spey/pypi_latest_{datetime}.json. If the cache directory cannot be created (e.g. no write permission) the function always attempts a live request. Any network or filesystem error is logged at DEBUG level and the function returns silently without raising.
