I'm not 100% on the order of searching of locations specified in find-links and whether or not pypi is still searched.

For buildout, the index is always searched, because it always wants to find the newest.

Okay, so the index is set to PyPI's simple index by default, right?

I'm guessing find-links adds locations to search that are checked before the index is specified, correct?

(This could probably be optimized in certain situations.) I'm not sure about the order, but it doesnt' really matter.

Indeed. The docs I've written suggest that there is an order and after a package has been found searching stops.

On IRC today, Philipp suggested that all options specified in find-links were checked for all packages and the latest version found was used.

Jim, can you clarify what exactly the case is here so I can make sure the docs aren't misleading people?

cheers,

Chris
