*chuckle*. Yes, it's the original source of the --find-links option, emulated in pip to ease migration. > can your instructions simply state to do the equivalent of > `pip install --find-links=http://setuptools.com/dev-snapshopts/`? The problem with find-links is that if you push them off of PyPI, they have to go somewhere else, which is setuptools' "dependency-links" feature. Now you have an even *harder* problem to update or remove those links, because they're not under the control of the author nor visible on PyPI. > Alternatively I would like to get the tooling smarter about not installing > pre-release versions unless asked as well. Yes, and that discussion doesn't have much to do with PyPI per se, because again, it's up to the tools. _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
