Sorry to say that - but to me (even though it's more work) pip seems to
be the better option - the proposed tool is ~8 months old and not part
of pypa community as it seems - so in comparison to pip this could not
be labeled "battle proven".
It’s not that unheard of, for example the flit_core bootstrap
documentation says to use it:
https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bootstrap.html
<https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bootstrap.html>
It also does one job and just one job, which is A Very Good Thing.
Still doesn't make it the best choice TBH.
Just diving into the code makes me wonder about a lot, like
- can this tool run on non arm/aarch64/x86/x86-64 hosts
(https://github.com/pradyunsg/installer/blob/fad2894a572d5497a3dceec58407c276f21e8c11/src/installer/utils.py#L140)
- in its full feature set? - the assumptions made by this function,
makes me think, it doesn't
- support of this here https://github.com/pradyunsg/installer/issues/98,
should be given by a matured tool
Especially as the second patch of the series removes the possibility to
use the tooling proposed by python upstream for installing stuff.
Do you mean Pip here? That’s one option. Installing a wheel is a
glorified unzip, pip brings a lot of baggage that we don’t care about.
I should make it clear that this class is not for installing arbitrary
wheels, it installs a wheel we just built and in the future will build
the wheel too.
Then that's definitely missing in the commit message, that this should
be an option and not the default
If one would want to have that kind of tooling the switch from pure
setup.py to toml and friends could have been done already a year ago
(python-build was the originally proposed tool iirc) - so this feels to
me like a step in the wrong direction (esp. the part that this would
rely on a tool **not** supported by upstream)
Adding support for build is next on the list.

Anyway, I think in before this patch series the switch to wheels was
good enough to work with it, now it's just introducing another tool -
that doesn't feel right to me, but I will stop arguing about that
