> Does PEP 440 cover this any better for you? I actually think the example in PEP 440 are part of what caused my confusion, because all of them are also for *pip*:
``` pip @ file:///localbuilds/pip-1.3.1.zip pip @ file:///localbuilds/pip-1.3.1-py33-none-any.whl pip @ https://github.com/pypa/pip/archive/1.3.1.zip#sha1=da9234ee9982d4bbb3c72346a6de940a148ea686 pip @ git+https://github.com/pypa/pip.git@7921be1537eac1e97bc40179a57f0349c2aee67d pip @ git+https://github.com/pypa/pip.git@1.3.1#7921be1537eac1e97bc40179a57f0349c2aee67d ``` > We could add further clarifying examples Yes please! > I don't think anyone had considered that by using pip as the example of the > project name, readers might assume that was the installer rather than the > project, so changing that example may be reasonable. This about sums up the roadblock I hit. > but the PEPs are intended to be definitions rather than tutorials (I think) I understand that PEPs are meant for a technical discussion, but they should be also verbose enough to allow the proposal to be implemented. I read the PEP and tried to implement it, but failed. My hope if that those that follow after me will be more successful. > more explanatory information may be better handled as part of the packaging > user guide at https://packaging.python.org/. I think this is a good idea as well, as I could find any part of the documentation there that dealt with this. I would offer to write that myself, but I feel like I'm operating just at (or past!) the limits of my understanding here.
