Correct, but that raises the barrier to entry too high. The pip defaults are aimed at providing an experience with the fewest points of failure that is currently achievable, with a minimal learning curve. We still have a long way to go, but if people want to influence those design decisions, the relevant lists are pypa-dev (for pip specific discussions) and distutils-sig (for higher level cross-tool design decisions) Cheers, Nick. > > -- > Marc-Andre Lemburg > eGenix.com > > Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, May 08 2014) > >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ > >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ > >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ > ________________________________________________________________________ > > ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: > > eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 > D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
