OK. Sage tarballs and the wheels are uploaded to our mirror sites. So wheel packages end up in the mirror sites. This is what you say "mirroring PyPI".
You object to "mirroring PyPI", that is, wheel packages. For its replacement, you propose to fetch wheels directly from PyPI by switching to "pip" packages. For users installing sage from sage tarball, this (switching to "pip" packages) means (again) to assume internet connection at install time. Right? This is Dima's reponse to this: > You still need to get the tarball from the internet, no? Once a user gets the tarball either from the internet or by usb stick, he can install sage from the tarball later without internet connection, say in flight. If we keep this installation form as the standard way to install sage from source and do not give up tarball, then I think wheel packages and "mirroring PyPI" is unavoidable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
