We do plan to support it, but the pip devs uncovered a hole in the current wheel spec that means it generates the same filename on *nix systems for wheels that need to have different names for the download side of things to work properly - hence the current Windows-only restriction. Once ensurepip has landed in Python 3.4 and pip 1.5 is released, we should be able to get back to updating the various metadata specs, with the aim of getting cross-platform wheel support in pip 1.6 :) Cheers, Nick. > > -Chris > > > > > -- > > Christopher Barker, Ph.D. > Oceanographer > > Emergency Response Division > NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice > 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax > Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception > > chris.bar...@noaa.gov > _______________________________________________ > Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
