pip does do something differently when an exact version is given. It looks at: 1. '(index_url)s/%(project_name)s/%(version)s' 2. '(index_url)s/%(project_name)s' 3. '(index_url)s' It stops on the first page it finds. Crate.io uses this in order to allow packages to never get deleted, but deleted packages only install if you've pinned exactly to that version. I don't know if Buildout or easy_install do anything similar as I don't use them. > > > Alex > > > > > > > > Jim > > > -- > Alex Clark · https://www.gittip.com/aclark4life/ > > > _______________________________________________ > Distutils-SIG maillist - distutils-...@python.org > (mailto:distutils-...@python.org) > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig > >
