Yea, it’s unfortunate that local versions don’t work prior to setuptools 8.0, but the older versions more or less escape everything that’s not alpha numeric and . and - to the - character so there’s only so much we can do with that. It’s correct that existing versions of pip do not support any new syntax with PEP 440, that will be part of pip 6.0 which I’m hoping to release this week. We were waiting on setuptools 8 to release with PEP 440 support and now we’re just making sure that setuptools is calmed down before releasing a pip 6.0. I agree with Paul, please file a bug for the local versions not working, they _should_ work and it should be a release blocker for 6.0. --- Donald Stufft PGP: 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
