I really did try to get that effort started a while back -- I got zero support, nothing , nada. Which doesn't mean I couldn't have gone ahead and done more myself, but I only have so much time, and I wanted to work on my actual problems, and it it hadn't gained any support, it would a been a big waste. MAybe the world is ready for it now... But besides the cultural/community/critical mass issues, pip+whell isn't very well set up to support these use cases anyway -- so we have a 50% solutikon now, and if we did this nifty binary-wheels-of-libs thing we'd have a 90% solution -- and still struggle eith teh other 10%, until we re-invented conda. Anyway -- not trying to be a drag here -- just telling my story. As for the many linux idea -- that's a great one -- hope we can get that working. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
