Agreed. Given that it's stated as optional for frontends to support it, I'd be arguing against pip bothering (as it seems like too much complexity) - so I'd rather leave it out until another frontend comes along. If at that point there's a need, we can always revise the PEP. > So I'm inclined to accept the encoding amendment, and then > provisionally accept the overall PEP pending implementation in pip. Me too. (Assuming I understand Steve's comments on backends, and he's comfortable with the idea that backends need to capture and manage MSVC output for presentation to the frontend).
