So I asked the person I know, and this is what he said, "Yes, we have to use it! It's the only way to allow a package to install other packages that aren't on PyPI-- for instance, a custom fork of a library." Is there another approach or work-around he can be using? What is the "right" way for him to do it? --Chris _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
