Unless the sdist is tagged with require_python and users have recent-enough pip. Which is what was referred to earlier as "Automagically". This behavior is "new" (Nov/Dec 2016). The upstream patches were written (in part) by the IPython/Jupyter team, for this exact purpose, to not install an incompatible sdists. (Works great I can share download graphs for IPython[0]) It _does_ require to have a version of pip which is not decades old though, and may not work if you use a pypi proxy which is not pep 503 compliant (which happens, we got bug report, users then complained to IT who fixed it). -- M On Mon, Nov 13, 2017 at 10:14 AM, Olivier Grisel <olivier.gri...@ensta.org> wrote: > If a wheel is not available for the client platform, pip will try to install > the latest version of the source distribution (.tar.gz or .zip) which I > think is the cause of the problem here. > > -- > Olivier > > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > NumPy-Discussion@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion > _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
