Hi all, starting a new thread, but this is related to the setuptols-_lite discussion, and the legacy formats discussion. In another thread Donald had a footnote:
[1] We can tackle egg at a later point, when setuptools either has support > for Wheels > or is less needed. So I'm wondering -- does anything else (other than setuptools) depend on eggs in any way? I know why I pip install stuff, I (always?) get egg-ish things installed: .egg-info directories and all that. Honestly, I'm confused -- is that making an actual egg? or is that name simply a legacy name for package meta data? In any case, does pip, or anything else, require it? For my part, I find it annoying, name aside -- it seems that all the package meta-data should be there in the package source already (pypacakge.toml?) -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
