I decided I’d make a little visual aid to help explain what I mean here (omitting development/editable installs because they are weird and will always be weird)! Here’s essentially the way that installs can happen right now https://caremad.io/s/Ol1TuV6R9K/. Each of these types of installations act subtly different in ways that are not very obvious to most people. Here’s what I want it to be: https://caremad.io/s/uJYeVzBlQG/. In this way no matter what a user is installing from (Wheel, Source Dist, Directory) the outcome will be the same and there won’t be subtly different behaviors based on what is being provided. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 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
