In a discussion about how to allow pip to select a package version compatible with the target Python version, Donald suggested adding a data-requires-python attribute to links in the simple repository API, which pip uses to find candidate downloads.
<a href="..." data-requires-python=">=3">...</a> This would expose the Requires-Python metadata field already specified in PEP 345. There is a separate PR for setuptools to allow specifying this value. I have opened a PR to add this to PEP 503, which defines the simple repository API, and Donald asked that I post about it here for comments: https://github.com/python/peps/pull/56 Thanks, Thomas _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
