FWIW I don't think it'll be painful for very much longer... the need to accommodate pip<1.4 will dwindle now that Ubuntu has released an LTS with a later version and RHEL 7 is out as well. However it *would* be great if there was some official means of safely uploading prerelease versions to PyPI which users of old pip won't automatically pull down in an upgrade so we don't have to rely on the current hack (which I agree is really just abusing unintended behavior differences between older and newer pip versions), until a majority of the ecosystem has stopped running with <1.4. -- Jeremy Stanley _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
