jt added the comment: Yeah, having this in the NuGet version would be amazing! I have been too specific with the ticket with my narrow mind set on a solution, but NuGet + complete standard library (including venv and pip) is what I now believe I actually should be using. Not that I would

jt added the comment: Ok I am now realizing after more tests I actually read the docs correctly, and in that sense they're not ambiguous. It's just that I tried to use data_files for something that it's not for: I did look at package_data first and I get that's what I SHOULD be using

New submission from jt : distutils spits out a warning: package init file 'xxx/__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file) ... when using Cythonized __init__.pyx instead. However, the installed package works absolutely fine, it can be imported & used perfectly, so this warning s

New submission from jt : I find the following doc section found at https://docs.python.org/3.7/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-additional-files about data_files somewhat unclear: ``` setup(..., data_files=[('bitmaps', ['bm/b1.gif', 'bm/b2.gif']), ('config', ['cfg

jt added the comment: Just to add this, I now tested the proper pip upgrade approach, and it worked fine, like everything else I tried before (installing & using Cython, any other packages, ...). If there's anything else I should test, let me know! NuGet with venv/ensurepip would be awe

jt added the comment: Ok, so I just tested this by 1. Installing Python 3.7.2 with the regular installer 2. Copying out "Lib\venv" and "Lib\ensurepip" into another folder 3. Uninstalling Python 3.7.2 (there is now no user-available install of Python on this system) 4. I

jt added the comment: Sorry I could have added more detailed use cases, so I'll append them here: The use case for venv in this particular script is that it's written to also work outside of CI, so it doesn't assume it runs in a "clean" python like this. And I would rather have
