No, we already have such Sage packages: This is just one of the 4 existing package "source types" ( https://deploy-livedoc--sagemath.netlify.app/html/en/developer/packaging#package-types) - "normal", "wheel", "pip", "script". Most of our Python packages come from PyPI already. The difference is really (1) when we determine the version to be installed, and (2) if and how we distribute the tarball. - "normal" packages are built from an sdist (tarball) retrieved from PyPI. - The version is set in the file package-version.txt, and the PyPI download URL ("upstream_url") and checksums are recorded in checksums.ini; see https://github.com/sagemath/sage/tree/develop/build/pkgs/numpy for an example. - The release manager's scripts download the package from the upstream_url and put them on the Sage mirrors. - If the package is standard, it is also included in the big release tarball. - If the package is standard and a stable release is being made, a GH Actions workflow also uploads the tarball as a Release Asset to GitHub (see https://github.com/sagemath/sage/releases/tag/10.2). - When users install Sage from git, any normal package is first attempted to retrieve from the GitHub Release Assets, then from Sage mirrors, then from the upstream_url. - When users install Sage from the big release tarball, standard normal packages have their sdists already in upstream, and only optional/experimental normal packages need to be retrieved. What Dima proposes here is to allow _standard_ Sage packages to be of "source type" "pip". By default the package content would be fetched, as pip does, Not just as pip does, but by actually calling "pip" to contact PyPI. and that would mean the default configuration for sage would require internet at install time.
