I like the idea of Requires-Python, but only because I don't see why Python
can't just be specified in the equivalent of setuptools' install_requires
and its ilk.
Why can't python just be treated as another package on while a package my
have a particular version dependency?
But it turns it into a chicken and egg problem: what happens if your
add "python>3" in "Requires-Dist" (the equivalent of install_requires)
?
True. Oh well. Requires-Python it is then...
Pip or easy_install is going to look for Python 3, and install it ?
then install itself in Python 3 and relaunch itself ?
That's what buildout does is you specify a version of itself ;-)
