while trying to vendor packages that depend on six, i noticed a problematic
implication
it is impossible to do this without patching those modules, as such adding a
fragile maintenance burden.
Ronny:
I grok the general issue, but would you have a concrete example?
a basic example would be vendoring
https://github.com/kyrus/python-junit-xml and six into pytest
following that we would face 2 problems
a) python-junit-xml imports plain six instead of
_pytest.vendored_packages.six meaning we have to patch it when including it
b) debian/fedora will want to remove six and python-junit-xml from their
pytest-package
instead linking to python-six-wheel-... and
python-junit-xml-wheel... packages as part of their deduplication effort
meaning they will patch around in the pytest package (which tends to
break the world)
