Jason R. Coombs added the comment: This approach, bundling the necessary dependencies to install setuptools, seems like exactly the right thing to do, assuming that ensurepip should install setuptools at all, and I don't want to challenge that assumption here.
Looking at the patch and ensurepip, I wonder if the patch is necessary at all. It looks to me like the `find_links` declaration should be sufficient to allow a `pip install setuptools` to succeed and install its dependencies as long as they're bundled. @cstratak, can you test a less aggressive approach that merely bumps the dependency on setuptools and bundles the dependencies? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29523> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
