I've no particular thoughts on that. It would certainly avoid the pain of easy_install being triggered. Success criteria for my immediate personal needs: - pip install -e . works on a clean checkout of my projects - easy_install doesn't go and download stuff - my setup.py can refer to things (usually the version) inside the project itself, safely - python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel upload -s works after I've done pip install -e . (I'm happy to unpack why I've chosen those four things, but I think there's enough context in the thread by now). -Rob -- Robert Collins <rbtcoll...@hp.com> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
