This is pretty evil. Why on earth are you doing this?
You should only ever place version limits in install_requires, and even
then, only if there are compatibility issues with a library a package
depends on.
eg: install_requries=['SomePackage < 2.0']
and when I
run the buildout
expecting the versions to be printed,
For the third time, why are you expecting versions to be printed here?
You've pinned the version required, so buildout-versions won't report it
as unpinned...
But tell me this. In the above example(pinning a version number in
install_requires section of setup.py)
expecting the version of the package to be printed is a valid usecase
right ?
Wrong.
Is it not ?
No, it is not.
