To clarify Daniel's point (because I struggled to understand this aspect of the implementation when I first encountered it) the responsibility is on the installer to explicitly enumerate all the tags it is capable of using[1]. So in theory, that means that the pep 425 implementation used by pip when running on (for example) 10.9 x86_64 should claim it can accept a wheel pyzmq-14.1.0-cp27-none-macosx_10_6_intel.whl. Paul [1] I'm not 100% sure that I agree with this design - I find it confusing to say the least - but it is how things are intended/expected to work. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
