The other day on IRC Ricardo and 宋文武 noted that python-pillow
currently comes with a compressed egg. Because it is compressed, the
daemon’s conservative scanning fails to see what store items it refers
to; in particular Ricardo noted that on his machine, python-pillow
refers to a non-existent store item for OpenJPEG.
To fix that, python-build-system must be tweaked to ask for uncompressed
eggs. I tried the attached patch, which uses the ‘--always-unzip’
option of easyinstall.
Unfortunately, that option is unsupported by some setup.py, such as that
of setuptools itself.
What would be the right way to do that?
TIA. :-)
