Sorry that it's so unclear to you, Nick and Paul. I tried my best. And i tried to make suggestions what to change, what to avoid, what kind of options pip would need to become safer etc.. That was all meant as useful feedback to get a better PEP and end result. But if you and Nick as authors refuse my suggestions (mainly: backward compat, more careful reasoning about multi-index ops) then i am currently clearly -1 on the PEP because i think it does more harm than good. And i'll let it all rest at that for a bit because i don't want to spend more time on it right now. best, holger _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
