pip-1.4rc3 and virtualenv-1.10rc4 are now available the changes from the previous RCs: - a bug fix for a new use of urlparse ( https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/1032) - "pip list" doesn't ignore showing setuptools and pip anymore (although "pip freeze" still does) - the wheel setuptools requirement was changed to ">=0.8" - updated installation instructions related to the release of setuptools-0.8 (http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html#requirements)
here's the gist of the RC install instructions again: $ curl -L -O https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/archive/1.10rc4.tar.gz $ tar zxf 1.10rc4.tar.gz $ python virtualenv-1.10rc4/virtualenv.py myVE $ myVE/bin/pip --version pip 1.4rc3 On Tue, Jul 2, 2013 at 10:28 PM, Marcus Smith <qwc...@gmail.com> wrote: > pip-1.4rc2 and virtualenv-1.10rc3 are available for testing from github. > > A few highlights: > - pip added support for installing and building wheel archives. > ( > http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/cookbook.html#building-and-installing-wheels > ) > - virtualenv is now using the new merged setuptools, and no longer > supports distribute. > - pip now only installs stable versions by default, and offers a new > --pre option to also find pre-releases. > - Dropped support for Python 2.5. > > Changelogs: > pip: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/release-1.4/news.html > virtualenv: http://www.virtualenv.org/en/release-1.10/news.html > > Download Links: > pip: > gz: https://github.com/pypa/pip/archive/1.4rc2.tar.gz > md5=0426430fc8a261c83bcd083fb03fb7d6 > zip: https://github.com/pypa/pip/archive/1.4rc2.zip > md5=c86dc0d94ed787eadba6dceb06f1676f > virtualenv: > gz: https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/archive/1.10rc3.tar.gz > md5=b24cdf59b561acf26ae3f639098d5a34 > zip: https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/archive/1.10rc3.zip > md5=a6ee1a1570a751aa50f95833d9898649 > > Installation: > The easiest way to try them both and *not* affect your current system, is > like so: > e.g. on Linux: > $ curl -L -O https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/archive/1.10rc3.tar.gz > $ echo "b24cdf59b561acf26ae3f639098d5a34 1.10rc3.tar.gz" | md5sum -c > 1.10rc3.tar.gz: OK > $ tar zxf 1.10rc3.tar.gz > $ python virtualenv-1.10rc3/virtualenv.py myVE > $ myVE/bin/pip --version > pip 1.4rc2 > > *Note*: If instead, you choose to upgrade an existing pip (and > setuptools), know this: > 1) pip's wheel support requires setuptools>=0.8b2 (this will become > final before pip is released final) > 2) setuptools-0.8bx is not on pypi and can be found here: > https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/downloads > 3) Older pip's can not currently upgrade distribute to setuptools > (until distribute-0.7.3 is released on ~July-7th) > (for more upgrade details: > http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html#requirements) > > Offering Feedback: > You can respond to this email, or log issues in our tracker: > https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues?state=open >
