Do you think you'd be able to summarise the conclusions from this thread on the pip issue that prompted it? It would be nice if we could record it over there for people who are following the tracker issue, and an explanation from an "affected user" perspective may be more helpful to others following the issue than a(nother) statement from one of the pip devs. Paul -- Distutils-SIG mailing list -- distutils-sig@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to distutils-sig-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/distutils-sig.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/distutils-sig@python.org/message/V4O3KAHNIW5ABUKSCTMNLA26ZWMDXJUL/
