Senthil Kumaran added the comment: Here is the patch with the changes suggested by Brett.
Having created this patch, I had second thoughts on this change. Folks who use pip often, usually use it without any quotes, like `pip install requests`, `pip install CherryPy`. Pinned down versions are most often required by projects and they mention it in the requirements.txt in an unquoted manner Ref: https://pip.readthedocs.org/en/1.1/requirements.html It works fine as it is not the shell which is parsing this file. Since ">" thing parsed by shell on the command line is a special thing, why not address that scenario with more clarification, instead of quoting all the examples, which seem contrary to the common usage patterns? ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +orsenthil Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41529/Issue26017.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26017> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
