Fedora's build macros for Python projects currently rely on running setup.py directly, but we've been considering switching to pip instead since 2013 or so. PEP 517 is likely to provide the impetus to switch from "maybe we should do that" to "we need to do that, at least if setup.py is missing, and potentially always, so we get more consistent installation metadata" Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
