Post-install hooks is an interesting idea. Even if it weren't automatic, once we had pip it would be a matter of having a script my_setup_script.sh containing "pip install foo; pip install bar; ..." and running "sage -sh my_setup_script.sh > Since we ship and build python anyway, it seems very reasonable to > also include this very useful python utility, so +1 from me. I'm not in favor of installing every useful Python utility, but a huge +1 to pip to bootstrap the process. In particular we could get rid of those optional spkgs that are nothing more than our own (often way outdated) packaging of other Python projects. I think this is a separate question from if/how to use it to augment/replace our package management--I don't think our installer should be automatically finding and downloading the latest versions (and the full source tarball should be buildable offline). > On 24 April 2014 08:49, Jan Groenewald <j...@aims.ac.za> wrote: >> Hi >> >> >> On 24 April 2014 09:44, Jeroen Demeyer <jdeme...@cage.ugent.be> wrote: >>> >>> On 2014-04-24 00:46, William Stein wrote: >>>> >>>> Hi, >>>> >>>> There used to be a lot of confusion about which package manager / >>>> installer one should use with python -- easy_install? setuptools? >>>> etc. >>>> >>>> Now the choice is clear: pip -- A tool for installing and managing >>>> Python packages. >>> >>> Does pip supersede setuptools?
