--------------------------------------------
Summary: easy_install scripts should create a new virtualenv e.g.
-e flag, by default
Key: CLIMATE-556
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLIMATE-556
Project: Apache Open Climate Workbench
Issue Type: Bug
Components: easy-ocw
Affects Versions: 0.4
Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
Fix For: 0.5
Having sat with people recently watching them install climate, it has become
obvious that the default behavior for the easy_install scripts should be
invoking the -e flag.
The script specifically say
{code}
It is recommended that you pass -e when running this script. If you don't, parts
of this installation will pollute your global Python install. If you're unsure,
pass -e just to be safe!
{code}
A user never sees this message though unless they know that
* there is a -h flag to print it
* it is too late and that they have already messed up their environment!
