home assistant which is sort of like weewx, but more complicated. My home assistant install, via pip in a venv, has 119 modules. > Requirements for a pip install: > > 1.

Is that really a pip requirement? pip can install in a virtualenv, and for instance I have all homeassistant stuff in a venv in ~/HASS. I have not been arguing for 'pip is the only way', but 'install in normal path layout so that using this from pip and every other packaging system is easy'. Packaging systems generally want to natively wrap things. (I am not sure if TIll agrees with this view.) As for namespaces, weewx may need to install all modules as weewx/foo instead of foo. That doesn't seem terrible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
