I don't have anything to do with the development, but I _think_ it actually builds the package in order to then extract the dependency meta-data -- it would be nice to not do that. It actually succeeds with a lot of packages without any hand-editing after the fact, to it's not so bad! > As Chris Barker notes, --single-version-externally-managed is a good way > to get setuptools-based setup.py's to just install the package; > --single-version-externally-managed hands the install process over to > distutils.

Maybe it would be better to add that automatically, and let the few packages that don't use setuptools remove it by hand... -CHB > To have a consistent CLI interface, Homebrew borrows a shim from pip's > source to make sure we always call setuptools.setup() when we run setup.py > so that we can hand the install back to distutils: > https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Homebrew/language/python.rb#L78-L94 > -- thanks to Donald for pointing to the right place in the pip code. > > _______________________________________________ > Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig > > -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
