That wasn't what I said: the "Personally" part was a pretty clear signal that I was being descriptive of my practices, and not prescriptive for others'. >> new stuff: it sucks as the basis for a repeatable build environment. > > I think that's a little harsh, if you use buildout and a locked down > versions section all you have to worry about is PyPI being down when you > don't have the eggs in a local buildout cache. No, you also have to worry about people removing eggs you formerly installed, or uploading new versions without changing the version number, or uploading new, backwards-compatibility-breaking versions, etc. *Nothing* about getting an egg from PyPI is repeatable.
