Generally this means PyPI which
OK, this makes sense, then. (I wish perl/cpan had something similar...maybe it does, but I couldn't find it at the time.) This still leaves the fact that there is a disconnect between the "needs" of two different audiences for PIP: people who deploy things, and everyone else who just uses pip to install stuff. The second group is going to overwhelm the first group, if it doesn't already. And I think that's all the comments I have on this issue :) --David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
