I can understand and respect that. But at the same time, I am not your bug proxy. So this bug will just sit here, and not be much use to anyone. BTW, there is a #pip on the PyPA discord, if you want to interact with Pip upstream, off GitHub. > Debian shelters users with this bug reporting policy¹: > > “Don't file bugs upstream > > If you file a bug in Debian, don't send a copy to the upstream > software maintainers yourself, as it is possible that the bug > exists only in Debian.

But in most cases, filing the bug upstream is the best way to get it fixed. Stefano -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
