Hi,

it seemed pip used to mistake all .zip files for being source packages, and
got confused by our .mpkg.zip binaries for OSX.  That has been patched in
pip now, but it might take another 5 or so years before everyone
upgrades...  So, I need to know if .dmg files for OSX are ok?  I seem to
recall some reason why .zip were preferred over .dmg files... but I can not
remember the reason!  I think .dmg files are ok now, since major projects
like VLC etc all use .dmg files.  So maybe the reason does not exist
anymore with modern OSX. I plan on creating new .dmg files from the
existing .zip files, and linking to them from the download page.

tldr;
Are .dmg files ok for binaries on OSX now?


cheers,
