> 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: 1.2
>
>
> 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!
