[Distutils] Re: Announcement: pip 20.2 release!

2020-10-23 Thread Sumana Harihareswara
pip 20.2.4 is out right now and has a bunch of performance improvements 
compared to previous 20.2.x releases, so it's worth trying out. We 
intend on releasing pip 20.3, with the new dependency resolver as 
default, next week, maybe Wednesday or Thursday the 28th or 29th of October.

In case you want a broader view of what the team's been doing, we posted 
a midyear report on the Python Software Foundation blog: 
https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2020/07/pip-team-midyear-report.html


Also, I'd love input from y'all on this question on performance for the 
new resolver https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8664 : what level of 
performance is acceptable for pip, and are we there yet?



Our new dependency resolver may make pip a bit slower than it used to be.


[Later data shows: yeah.]


Therefore I believe we need to pull together some extremely rough speed tests 
and decide what level of speed is acceptable, then build some automated testing 
to check whether we are meeting those marks.


Another question arising from that issue: is it appropriate to tell more 
of our users to use `--no-deps` to speed up performance? I think a lot 
of our users would benefit from using `--no-deps` for a lot of their use 
cases, but don't know about it.
