Is there a reason I can't have setuptools automatically upgrade/ delete existing/conflicting package versions that are a 'requirement' for the package I want to install?
For example, if I have the 0.3 of PasteScript installed, and run my own package which requires (and has the URL for) the svn dev version of PasteScript, here's what I get: % sudo python ez_setup.py -D -f http://pylons.groovie.org/ Pylons Reading http://pylons.groovie.org/ Searching for Pylons Best match: Pylons 0.1dev-r87 Processing Pylons-0.1dev_r87-py2.4.egg Pylons 0.1dev-r87 is already the active version in easy-install.pth Using /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/Pylons-0.1dev_r87-py2.4.egg Processing dependencies for Pylons error: Installed distribution Paste 0.3 conflicts with requirement Paste>=0.4dev-r362 I've tried -U as well, and there doesn't seem to be anyway to tell setuptools to do this. Perhaps a 'Upgrade requirements if necessary' option or something?
