To be totally clear, and maybe this needs to be in the PEP (probably in
three more various forms to make sure everyone gets it), you can emulate
most of the PEP today with "pip install --target __pypackages__/3.7 ..."
and "$env:PYTHONPATH = './__pypackages__/3.7'". Nothing else changes.
The advantage is that even this amount of friction goes away.
Sorry for the drive-by comment (I don't have time to read the PEP
right now) but does this mean that "pip install --upgrade" won't be
supported against __pypackages__ directories (it currently doesn't
work properly with --target, IIRC - certainly *some* things go weird
with --target) or will the PEP include mechanisms to allow pip to work
more cleanly with __pypackages__ than it currently does with --target?
The PEP explicitly doesn't say anything about what pip can/should do (at
Donald's request), but the assumption is that it will support it
properly. (Hence "*emulate* *most* of the PEP".)
My point is just that the intent is for it to be a "normal" package
directory, not a reimagining of packaging.
Cheers,
Steve
