It is "huge" in the sense that it is a parallel universe to your normal Linux distribution though; you need to install duplicate versions of various C libraries in multiple locations, whereas pip & virtualenv allow you the flexibility of "package everything as a static generic manylinux1 wheel for portability" or "depend on dynamically linked libraries in your operating system" depending on your deployment preferences. -glyph _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
