Hi,
If I were telling a new Windows Python user what to do to get started, I
would tell them to use easy_install because easy_install will pick up both
installers and binary eggs and do the right thing with those and
virtualenvs.
pip on Windows is a decent into misery.
Seconded; our scientific packages use numpy (C) and scipy (C, C++
Fortran, big) and have C and sometimes Fortran extensions, so pip is
more or less useless for windows, and a real PITA for anything else.
Thanks Chris and Matthew for the info! Especially about the upcoming
no-site-packages default.
I'm really going to have to add a section on debugging site.path to my
book... :-)
Reinout - happy to be using buildout ;-)
