Actually PEP 518 provides the mechanism we need for this, and it's already implemented in pip's master branch (what will become pip 10). I don't remember off the top of my head if that covers 100% of the cases yet, but if it doesn't that's just a SMOP. It's entirely plausible that Python 3.7 ships without setuptools included in ensurepip. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31634> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
